To Varma: What we say on this thread I think DOES have an impact on the rise or fall of DCLK and other net stocks. I believe that there are hundreds if not several thousand small investors that peruse sites such as this to get a feel for an equity they either own or plan on owning (or shorting). Investing has and always will be based on EMOTION and the HERD MENTALITY. You can't blame people for this when they are investing massive amounts of money that just a few years ago were secure in their local banking instituitions. The CRASH in the DAQ earlier this week is a prime example of how the media and the Big Money holding their strings shook out the weak hands holding tech stocks and in particular net stocks. Also, companies these days are hiring watch dog start up firms to monitor web sites for individuals who supposedly spread untrue or misleading information about the health of their prospective businesses. If this is occurring I have NO DOUBT that Big Money is also doing the same monitoring the positive or negative sentiment on threads. When sentiment on lets say a DCLK thread turns BEARISH Big Money puts the screws to the stock and starts a Panic selling situation similar to what we encounterd on Monday. To tank the DAQ in the very middle of earnings week was BRILLIANT!! The media followed suit with a DEATH and DESTRUCTION mantra that was swiftly destroyed with the action on Tuesday and Wednesday. Bottom line to my message is to stay positive during the bad times and remember why you bought the stock to begin with: A great growing business and fine management!! Another thing we must try to do (tough sometimes) is to STAY OFF MARGIN!! Every individual should have a WAR CHEST of available cash to put to work in case a Break in the market occurs. The timing on these breaks is almost NEVER PREDICTABLE. Being slightly in cash at ALL times gives the small investor the leverage to ride out the bad times and either accumulate shares in his/her existing companies or diversify into new ones when the inevitable corrections materialize down there on WALL STREET. Remember when your in cash the Big Money can take your great companies into the investment COMODE for a time but they will inevitably COME BACK smelling like a rose. Margin will force you to sell at or near the bottom!! I went through this nightmare back on OCT. the 8th when CPQ and the DAQ capped weeks of selling with a melt down that forced me to sell my position in CPQ and take substantial losses. After licking my wounds I got back into the market a few days later and have not only recovered my losses but have produced gains that are FAR and AWAY beyond my wildest dreams. So stay off margin folks, get ready for a BLOCKBUSTER week with the internet group and get ready for SOME GREAT PROFITS!!! GO DCLK!!!
