Michelle, I'd be careful with CNET. Not that I'm a trader, but I do see quality in that company. I suspect that one of their assets is wide readership by relatively upper IS management, typically in a time of relative leisure. Seems like an excellent source of advertising income. Along with their share of Snap.com and news.com, they could climb at any time. What do you think? Thats what I thought when I bought the calls Randy. Cnet and Gnet are the only portals I like. But since cnet introduced the ad campaign the stock is very weak, chart it you will see.... it wants to go down. It gets « the rallies and twice the downside as everybody else it seems. I think the real problem is that Minor pushed cnet profitability with the street last year as a way to differentiate cnet from the pack. Then abrubtly he changed his stripes and introduced a campaign that will diminish and profitability for a year. I prefer gnet as a portal anyway.... I like the "network of valuable sites" vs. generic portals these days. We've seen with media metrix that portals don't hold the eyeballs, yahoo does but that is for content - light content, msg boards, TV and weather, stocks, but its there. Cnet has www.cnet.com and I'm with you it is valuable but snap, I don't know....
