Looks like CMGI is reacting favorably to the Alta Vista news. From the press release: Under the terms of a definitive agreement, Compaq will transfer 83.0 percent equity ownership in the AltaVista business to CMGI. Compaq will retain 17.0 percent equity ownership in the AltaVista business and hold a Board seat. In return, Compaq will receive 19.0 million CMGI common shares and CMGI preferred shares equivalent to 1.8 million CMGI common shares, which combined, would represent a 16.4 percent fully diluted equity stake in CMGI. In addition, CMGI will issue a $220 million three-year note to Compaq, bringing total consideration for CMGI's 83 percent ownership in the AltaVista business to approximately $2.3 billion, implying a total value of $2.7 billion for AltaVista. Compaq will also take a seat on the CMGI Board of Directors and plans to announce the appointment to this new position in the coming months. The agreement, subject to normal regulatory approvals, is binding on both parties and does not require shareholder approval for the closing.

WITC. . .just before I left for vacation. . .you may remember me saying. . "I'm a buyer at 9" . . ?? . . .the absolute low for the stock?? ?? . . Exactly 9 . . [now up well over 3 times that] Too bad I went on vacation just after posting. . .it hit 9 about a week or so later. . [I cancelled my limit orders just before I left.] I guess this was an important post. . . Message 9966980 or Message 9965869 reply to your Message 9965103 Friday, Jun 4, 1999 Joe, WITC: Traders use their brokerage services now. And if their plans come true, this could be a contender in the online brokerage race, in my opinion. Their digital trading service scheduled to be released this year, will allow us to trade directly with one another 24 hours a day 7 days a week. . . without MM commissions and spreads, etc. That is revolutionary. And if they allow the little guy to buy IPOs, then that too is revolutionary. . . I am not crazy about traditional online brokerage houses, so anything that goes against the grain, gets my vote. My OTC rules are to keep me from making mistakes with OTC and penny stocks. WITC has filed their IPO registration which includes all financial data, etc. . .or they would not be allowed on the Nasdaq. And I think that 9 is a fair price to start a position. If it drops lower, I would average down some. This is all keeping in mind how desperate we were several times over the past year, to find small online brokerage houses to bid up to the sky. In fact we need to keep a list of any tiny brokerage houses. . .especially those with tiny floats. They all are potential skyrockets when the mania returns. Rande Is
