It's sickening, is'nt it? I am "stuck" in the stock with written calls, and even with the calls, my cost basis is now around 12 3/4's..... With a parent company like General Electric, I have absolutely no idea why they are letting the stock tank like this without fighting back vigorously. All the charts are oversold enough, that's for sure, so it is now up to GE and NBC to do something about it..... Yogi

The SI system got stuck and repeated my post, so now maybe Jack Welch will take notice of our little problem with NBCI. <g> Yogi

Potential Buyout? When Infospace offers US$4 billion for Go2net, someone has overlooked the very undervalued NBCi,capitalized at only US$545 million with $285 million in cash. Would some media moguls be interested in the potential acquisition of NBCi? The potential interested parties may be the News Corp which has just made an offer to purchase Chris Craft Corporation for its TV broadcasting properties, and the Viacom Corp which has just purchased the rest of Infinity Broadcasting. Another interested party may be the French Vivendi who has recently bought Seagram's media properties. None of the TV broadcasting stations, however, has the worldwide reach of the internet like NBCi. The respected Media-Metrix rated NBCi as the ninth most frequented site in June --16.8 million unique visitors. Xoom.com alone has about 15 million registered users. Furthermore, remember that interactive TV with the Web will be the coming media convergence. I expect someone will soon discover the true value of NBCi. pcyhuang huangcapital.com
