(COMTEX) B: Internet's worth: $301 billion Washington, DC, Jun. 11, 1 B: Internet's worth: $301 billion Washington, DC, Jun. 11, 1999 (The Content Factory via COMTEX) -- =A0 A University of Texas study estimates the Internet's value to the economy was $301 billion in revenue last year and 1.2 million jobs. Sponsored by Cisco Systems (CSCO), the study, which is to be repeated quarterly, found that electronic commerce worldwide generated nearly $102 billion, or roughly 1 percent of the U.S. gross domestic product, the Associated Press reported. The balance of revenues came from computer hardware and software sales, consulting work and Web-site design. UT professor Anitesh Barua said revenues attributable to the Internet have been doubling annually for the past three years. "Ultimately, the (online) transactions will go through the roof," he said. =A0 -0- Copyright 1999 The Content Factory * end of story *

DuGen Sorry but another Drake diatribe...hehehe James Dines in The Dines Letter often talks about the herd. I am not saying we just all haphazardly order our certs. Our group of DMEC investors has not formed into a herd (yet). As you can see when someone offers a possible solution or suggestion as was made over on Raging Bull, detractors and individuals still feel they can persuade the herd to go the other way, in most cases the herd responds by doing nothing (but not in the case of DMEC). The suggestion was not made to order our certs, simply to form a nice tight knit group of strong investors. When the suggestion was made to make a list it was at no time mentioned to order certs. The last time I ordered a cert it came within 24hrs and I was located outside the USA. So the mailbag theory doesn't work either. Things are going well with DMEC and I don't believe we will have to go to extreme measures, we simply cannot afford to have bashers and detractors trying to sway the herd over a cliff. We need to do our DD OURSELVES, have faith in the decisions we made and then carry through without having a lot of emotional.."Why's it not doing this..why's it not doing that....I wish I had sold whenever..." All of that amounts to crying over spilled milk...and folks....I hope we are all adults here. I really like the people in this thread so much so that I will probably always own a little chunk of DMEC just so that I can say "HEY...I am part of that gang that rallied and built that share count list....great bunch of people in a great company"
