Well, I am betting my money on it. Silknet came out at a bad time and traded down to a level just above its offering price for a while, but after that period it made it into the 40s. I understand that Engage offers a unique service to net companies. Here are some excerpts from the CMGi site regarding engage:
----------
Engage is a leading provider of profile-driven Internet marketing solutions.

The completed merger with Accipiter, Inc., an industry leading online advertising management provider, facilitated the integration of Engage Web Visitor Precision Profiling technology with Accipiter online advertising solutions. In a recent press release, CMGI announced a letter of intent to acquire I/PRO, a leader in World Wide Web traffic verification, analysis, and research. After completion of the transaction, I/PRO will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Engage. I/PRO analyzes and validates Web site activity, which enables marketers to understand their online business and improve the effectiveness of their site. I/PRO's services include Nielsen I/PRO I/AUDIT and Nielsen I/PRO NetLine.

Strategy

Engage fully supports a visitor's right to privacy and sets the benchmark for privacy on the Web through corporate sponsorships with TRUSTe (www.truste.org,) World Wide Web Consortium (www.W3.org,) and the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF.)

Solutions

Engage and I/PRO solutions are in place across leading Web sites including beeb@ the BBC, Chicago Tribune, CNET, Dell Computer Corp., E! Online, Excite, Infoseek, Lycos, MSNBC, Netscape, NBC, Sony Online Entertainment, Ticketmaster, USA Networks, and USA TODAY Online.

----------

Note that Engage protects individual privacy. Also, Microsoft recently announced that they will not advertise on any website that does not.

BTW the FAQs on the Wit website said we would not be subject to the flipping time restrictions; that we can sell at our leisure.
