<<what's your timeframe now on this?>> Walt: I still have a large position in NETP (it's one of my top 3 holdings). A number of my relatives own this stock too. I did sell some shares when it was in the 20s recently -- just because I wanted to raise some cash in my online IRA and diversify more. Yet, I still believe that NETP will have its day and that "the $40 price targets" that some analysts have released will seem conservative. We will continue to experience significant volatility though and this summer could be quite turbulent for investors in internut stocks. I would not compare NETP to Cybercash. NETP has a proven technology and over 100 customers (like Lycos, Virgin, Amazon, Barnes & Noble, etc..). Cybercash tried to develop a consumer standard that has never caught on and IMO may never catch on. NETP's collaborative filtering software and services will become more and more vital as an increasing number of retailers try to stand out and personalize their offerings online. Just My Views. Good Luck with Your Investing. Best Regards, Scott
