I'd settle for something less than a "parabolic thrust" this year. A simple "meteoric rise" would do just fine :). Seriously, I do think that it will enjoy substantial gains over the next couple of years as the internet matures. I would expect a lot of the volatility to disappear within that time period.

let me repeat this important paragraph in the Gomez press release, which seems to have gone unnoticed, judging by the EGRP stock price: "As further evidence of Destination ETRADE's popularity with consumers, the site is now number two among all sites worldwide in average minutes per user per month, commonly known as ``stickiness,' according to figures recently compiled by Media Metrix(TM) and reported by Morgan Stanley Dean Witter in The Internet Company Handbook. According to this report, visitors to Destination ETRADE spend an average of 66.5 minutes per month on the site, second only to eBay and greater than other popular Internet and financial services sites, including Yahoo!, Charles Schwab and The Motley Fool."
