>>Netscape is a fantastic buy right now. Note the following:

Market Cap Sales Income Book Value Debt/Equity
Netscape 1.73b. 530.8m. -15.3m 4.93 0.01
Yahoo 4.15b. 67.4m. -22.9m. 2.62 0
Aol 14.5b. 2.04b. 23.4m. 1.47 1.22 <<

Thank you for providing a list of stocks that are begging to be shorted. These 3 are all grossly overvalued. Now try comparing Netscape against a software company that actually makes a profit. Doesn't stack up as well, does it?

>>Netscape has the opportunity to become a portal, an isp and more.<<

And ISP and more, huh?

I have the opportunity to be President of the United States.
Don't count on either though.

Netscape is a software company that is giving away their most popular product (Browser) and selling software in the very competitive server arena.

I fail to see a business model for them that will produce profit anywhere near the levels necessary to justify their current market cap in the near future. (IMHO)
