Uh, "wiping out 17 billion in market cap." Hmmmm. Maybe they were talking about msft, but msft lost a lot more than that. Maybe they meant Gates, but Gates is down only about 10 billion. I love these newspapers. Just this past week, there was a commentary republished everywhere it seems that said there hadn't been a significant market correction in 4 years. Of course last October, we had a correction of ~35% in the nasdaq, the 3rd worst since the 70's. The dow was down about 20%, the 3rd greates in about 20 years also. This is why I have cnbc blocked. I'd much rather read what you guys have to say than see the bozos on cnbc.

You were always right, its just that you had bad timing. James, I no longer have a meaningful position. I still expect some run in the fall but timing tis stock is difficult for me. Kleiner Perkins needs to do something here;-)
