Net stock investing is controversial. Look at what is happening to the investors who have poured money into these stocks thinking that they were going to make a killing, only to get killed instead. GST, I believe Amazon is the most controverisal of the group. James said that first. Also, those that were short net stocks last year thought they would make a killing too. They were just as wrong as those that went long this year in April. The bickering that goes on here is unecessary. I am far from referring to yur comments. In fact, you really do not bicker. My belief is there are some very knowledgeable and talented people on this thread. There are also some that want others to believe they are knowledgeable and talented. I believe most know where each player belongs in this group. Glenn
