OT: Here's the online page to subscribe: forbes.com Over the past 3 or 4 months I've heard a lot of positive things said about Gilder's report so I subscribed myself the end of November. Regards, Lynn

RE: Gilder Tech Report. You'd have to pay me to read this crap. A relative sent me printouts of three of his "reports". They are positively painful to read. It's like he read someone else's reports; didn't understand them; and then wrote his with the same conclusions. There are whole paragraphs that make no sense at all. Take this example from "The Opto-Investors' Ball" As the intensity of the light rises -- as more and more photons of traffic flash through the webs of glass and air -- the overall frequency or average color of the light inches up the spectrum. Thus, the global iridescence changes its dominant hues. If it were a rainbow, the center of intensity would move up from red through green towards violet. If it were a meteor, the Doppler blue shift of the Internet would suggest it is hurling toward you at lightspeed. That is a good analogy to keep in mind. But then, in the middle of this crap, he puts in parrenthetical remarks that almost have to come from someone else, such as (because at higher frequencies, there is more available bandwidth to carry more information per second). He "name-drops" high-tech terms like he thinks this will impress his readers. He even makes up words. He refers to JDSU as making "microcosmic" devices. I'll leave you with this "thought" to ponder, if you want to subscribe to this charlatan: "The real new integrated circuit, however, is the net itself, integrated not on silicon slivers but across mostly silicon continents and seabeds, a global seine of silica that can capture all the glittering profits in the ball of radience."

Do you recall what the stock was when the split was announced? Wondering if it'll be close to that post-split. Just walked in the door and find the price amazing. Pat

Gildertech.com Track record awesome QCOM @$19. JDSU, NT, LSI, numerous others. Been a subscriber for 3 months. His picks have been MFNX in $20's and NOVL @$19, NTAP @$110(presplit.) Only problem is from the time he picks till we can get on internet stock is usually up a lot. i.e he picked NOVL @$19 on 11/30/99 yet it did not hit website till last Thursday by the time I got in was $31. Now when his stock comes out I buy an extra 1000 or 2 for trading purpose.Did that with PRCM which he mentioned last month. Bought 2500 NOVL, should have sold 1500 this a.m. @$35. Subscription has paid for itself many times over. JDSU awesome I sold $250 Jan calls last week bought them back when stock went to $270. Cost me $8000 to buy back. Made 4X that back and more.
