BARRON'S-- "...investors can profit by...avoiding its IPO..."

OFFERINGS IN THE OFFING by Scott Reeves

"...MARKETWATCH.COM IS A GOOD company that could be a bad investment...the number of people using its site is rising sharply. But there's nothing compelling about the content, nothing that will draw and hold users from other sites or make it the first destination for market watchers to click onto each morning. In short, the company produces a solid product that probably will be made less important by larger and and more sharply focused competitors...for many individual investors, Yahoo's financial site is a dream. For lively commentary and discussion groups, it's hard to beat Silicon Investor...But is MarketWatch vital to the mix?...MarketWatch may be too small to be comprehensive and too broadly focused to provide in-depth coverage...still, CBS MarketWatch did finish second in Barron's ranking of investment sites (see page 31)...At best, MarketWatch appears to be a trading stock...Individual investors can profit by reading MarketWatch's stories and avoiding its IPO..."
