There is one upside to this that Cramer talked about recently I believe. It is that alot of funds can't buy into these types of stocks until lock ups expire because they are mandated to not get in to illiquid stocks no matter how wonderful and so they have to wait till more shares are released. That was an interesting spin. Of course different times won't be great but after that other funds can get in finally so there can still be demand. But they don't feel like the days of yore when they were so light. Like BVSN olden days or CMRC olden days..... Now that is a hoot "olden" days lamenting for a 6 month old stock....:)) btw do you guys really think these fuel cell companies are "real" and "big" like the B2B turned out to be? It seems the little guy gets there first and so little guys is this just a figment of hope or "real"....? In spring of l998 the internet stocks when they wildly took off (the geezers like YHOO, LCOS, AOL..:) were called bubbles and not "real". Now we have new wonderful categories that are real but so new they are not recognized yet. I believe the gene stocks are real. What other category is in infancy but is not a bubble or hype or isolated by "real" but just so newly being born and recognized that it is hard to tell yet? Thanks. Autumn

Caveat emptor on ICGE: Release of lock-up shares begins 1/31/00 and continues through April 2000. I vaguely remember reading that approximately 40 millions shares are being release Feb., with 40 and 90 million additional shares being released March and April (can't remember which month is 40 vs. 90 million). Point is, there is a very real chance ICGE will tank and not recover. By the time release of lock-up shares is over, we will be in May, usually the start of Death Valley for the internet stocks. Additionally, I think Amazon.com's ever-widening losses and the AOL/Time Warner deal have cast a pall over the entire sector. My long-winded point: be very careful entering positions on ICGE and use tight stops. If you have ICGE and have nice profits, take some money off the table before the end of the month.
