Hrm; Well it's confusing as all get out, and for the time being I can't figure out who will be the walmart of the internet, looks like you have to spread your bets. The term "tracking" stock sets off my alarms, it may be just a false alarm but I don't know how to determine taht. What internuts I have bought have been via what a mutual fund holds, next month we get the XLX, ( SPDR with 15 nut stocks in it) and I'll likely want to trade that over any particular company. --------------- The walmart of the internet will show up some day, it will offer cable, regular ISP , ASDL, & wireless all at a one stop shopping center. If I see that I'll be on it in a jiffy. I don't think demographics are going to allow some propitiatory type system to take over, and maintain a lead for any long period, the technology is advancing so fast, that what's hot today or looks good on paper can be obsolete by the time you get it into mass production.
