Yeah, could buy UPS, did buy FDX, advertizers the internets are advertizers, own lots of them, but I see consolidation there, and most ad houses are not public. The ones that are are ovepriced I think. Watch the Superbowl, what is it, double last year, I think I heard $30 Million for a 15 second ad, or was it $15 million for a 30 second ad, anyway, I will be watching it and taping it for the ABTL (AutoByTel) ad. Any other internets doing superbowl ads? AMZN one would think, but, I really think AMZN is overpriced, whereas BNBN (its competitor Barnes & Noble BN.com) is at an all time low. Maybe Amazon would be smart to start buying up BNBN stock. They have the Bertlesmann (Germany/European Common Market domination) connection. That would change things big time for AMZN. I got out high. Like the technology, but I buy from both AMZN and BNBN websites for books etc., they are not always cheaper one place or the other. Both these companies need deals to return books at ANY bookstore for credit or coupons etc to save return shipping costs. AMZN has no stores, and BNBN (BN.com) does not even allow book returns to BKS (Barnes and Noble brick and mortar stores). This will change this year, if not they both ought to be flogged. I'll buy when cheaper. BNBN is $14 now, cheaper than the IPO. BKS its major shareholder and Bertlesmann will not let BNBN fail, so this one is simple...buy low, sell higher. on AMZN I am waiting to buy back in at a lower, more comfortable level. I am, Truly your$, -Crystal Ball
