Mact, although I have certain respect for fund managers because besides stock returns, they have to consider tax efficiency, risk management etc. But, at least during the past three years, we make them look really bad. If we turn on CNBC, everytime a fund manager or some market pro/guru talks, they will start trashing us like we created volatility, we flee at the first sign of trouble. Yeah, right. During the past two Oct slumps, it's the non-pro investors created the huge bull run after the corrections, while the pros fled without a trace. It's a comical yet sad scene.

I'm looking to pick up shares for a long position, any idea on an entry price? Have been lurking here for a while and it looks like many shorts out there. I really don't see this stock as a hedge to CMGI, just because of B2B...rather just another broad based way to play internet. Am I missing something? linda

>>>tig, 90% of professional fund mgrs cannot beat the s/p 500...hence cannot do 15-25%/yr...pretty comical huh?. <<< Don't judge others before you step into their shoes. I thought the same way as you before; however, now that my portfolio has substantially grown, it has become increasingly difficult to find liquid issues and keep track of your own stock, the market, etc. It's not an easy game. And the game is substantially different when you are managing funds in the millions vs thousands.
