I agree it's outrageous and don't listen to any of the Internet analysts mentioned. There should be a separate market for "dot coms" and anyone trading in them should have to pass a sobriety test first. Incidentally, I preferred Unwired Planet to phone.com. :) Pat

Still trying to figure out why you posted this on the Phone.com thread? At the same time, I wonder why anyone would even link Phone.com to the Internet stocks except for the dot com. Here we have a major new market of software for cell phones and hand held devices. Phone.com is at the center of this movement to enable these devices to do Internet-like functions. It might even be a question whether you can link these functions to the internet as we now them today. And, Phone.com is not a media service, or an e-commerce play. They are the central figure in systemic software to enable all sorts of totally new functions for a very hungry market. I'd say this recent dip and amazing buying only confirms that serious players are taking large positions in a company that will have a major impact on everything we do. Boy, I feel sorry for anyone who was foul enough to short this company. They are probably nearly ruined if they took a big position, and heaven help them if they didn't cover yet. This company is going to be an incredible investment. Personally, I was never worried about the drop last week, only angry for not having bought more when the gift was available. It snapped back faster than I ever imagined possible. Notice we hit the 52 week high again today before backing off. I'll probably say the same thing a year from now. I wonder when they'll announce a split to increase liquidity? When they do, expect another run and look for a price well into the 100's. Regards, Mark
