that's right USMA, if it's not on TV it doesn't exist. that's why i watch Maria Bartiromo and Larry King all day in search of clues about world events. if it's not on CNBC you always have to take it with a grain of salt. i'm still confused about the price target for AskJeeves, i missed that show; was it $ 1000 or $ 890 3/4?

The brokerage said the company has positioned itself as the leading business-to-consumer portal, and that now with its acquisition of online bank Telebanc, it has added a "consistent recurring revenue base on assets and a hedge against market fluctuations." Prudential forecasts a loss of $0.61 per share in FY00, compared with a loss of $0.33 per share FY99. However, it expects revenue to jump to $922.9 million in FY00, from $621.4 million a year earlier." Whether or not a recommendation pops the stock up or not isn't that relevant to my ownership of E*Trade; what I'm most concerned with is what the future holds, and at least according to Prudential Securities, the future of E-Trade is extremely bright...
