James, That's indeed a great research report about the internet bubble. Hope they'll write another one like that about biotech bubble 3 yrs later :) Idealab might be a great IPO to chase. They paid for $0.005/sh for ETYS?! Why they are keeping the remaining # of shares? They couldn't dump them all in once? Too much tax to pay?

James -- good piece. It generated a lot of thoughts, but this last thing really caught my eye. "Dr. Kiessling and his wife filed an arbitration claim against ETrade, saying it allowed them to "buy an unsuitably over-concentrated position," according to his attorney, James Eccleston, and that ETrade should have alerted customers that the stock would open up so much higher. In a statement of answer filed last year with the National Association of Securities Dealers, E*Trade said that the Kiesslings "could and should have minimized their risk" by immediately selling the shares and that the couple is responsible for the loss. The case is pending." Whatever happened to personal responsibility? I mean, I wouldn't even consider going after my broker because I made a bad investment decision. I get peeved when orders don't execute in a timely manner or I don't get timely online confirmations, but sheesh, that really takes the cake. INTCfan
