Well, I am VERY excited about Goto's potential. Why ? 1) They have an affiliates program (they pay webmasters 2 cents per request done..) which is starting to be a huge success. It's the first engine which gives money to affiliates ! 2) Can you imagine the number of terms existing ? In english, french, spanish, italian, german, etc. ???? 3) As shareholders we can also increase Goto's revenues !!! Yes ! the only thing to do is to enter the word "casino" and make some click throughs (bids are above 5$). If we are 500 persons to make 10 click throughs/day on "casino" websites, then we will generate 25'000 USD revenues / day for Goto. ==> 750'000 USD /month ==> 2'250'000 USD per quarter !!! ==> Lets'GOTO !!! For me the Goto's business model is perfect, excepted may be with point number 3. How will react advertisers if we do this ? they will pay for nothing ? Does someone can help me about this point ? Well, my target : 200 USD by year end. Good luck !

howard, just curious ... will you trade these shares or hold long? The reason I ask, is, I recall another poster on the INSP thread, his name was Alex, he also got the shares at the open of the IPO. I traded INSP many many times, and yet still ... I think alex did better than I, just holding long. Made him nervous many times, as net stocks have such wild girations .... up 5 down 5 ... up 10 down 10 ... but I thought you might enjoy reading the thread, and see how Alex was all during the last 6 months. He did have a sell target of 100 ... but I do not know what he did ... with his shares, as I don't recall his posting much after it split.
