Up 612% This Year:
Go2Net Goes To Town, Leads All Gainers

Sometimes a company name can be prescient as in the case of Go2Net, which Paul Allen invested in this week and did just that. The inspired move sent Go2Net (NASDAQ:GNET - news) shares going ballistic, up 48% the past week and 612% year to date.

Allen agreed to invest $750 million in Go2Net for a 54% stake. Allen's Vulcan Venture unit invested $300 million in convertible preferred and the venture firm will also make a tender offer for 5 million shares of GNET at $90.

Just when you thought the top 10 Web sits in the world dominated the deal action this agreement vaults Go2net into the same cash league as Yahoo, with a great partner in Allen, who owns cable, motion picture and Internet interests.
