It's not just KOOP, as other Internet health-related stocks have fallen as well. Will these stocks become like oil drillers and trade as a group, all moving up or down? I don't think so. KOOP investors are more likely unwitting victims to prime time up and down hype. It almost seems like "they" do their best to get "you" in. Once "you're" in, "they" do their best to get "you" out. It's like feeding investors beefing drugs--dollarlogical, not biological enhancements. But once "you" get fat "you" get taken to slaughter. And those just ain't suits you see at the cleaners. What kindness, huh! And, yes, it's quite apparent "some" will take the money and run, invariably becoming very taunting and egoistic about it. So it goes? Whoopie-doopie-do! Ultimately, however, I'm betting the long haul will see "boomers" wantin' a little zest and zip, fewer wrinkles and rashes and stronger legs, all of which will help provide Dr.Koop.com the vitality boost it'll need to do well down the road. Check out Internet heavy Doubleclick (DCLK). At its start, DCLK didn't have the strong fundamentals which A@P and others have chirped as KOOP criticism. And DCLK wobbled a bit during its early trading growing pains. But now look at DCLK several months into the game. It may or may not happen, but I'm hopeful KOOP will eventually become a similar hit. I don't have time to engage in maximized profit triggered, short-term trading strategies. So my decision is to simply hold KOOP long and see what happens. Hey, I can always drive a cab! (LOL) Good luck everyone!
