it's good that you're happy with this 3-day pop (nothing falls in a straight line), but let me remind you that ASKJ was also among Munder Net Net's top picks (don't know if it still is). happy? 3-day pop? This means nothing. I was a bull when every short was predicting doom and gloom. I will continue to be a bull when i see there were more than 22.5 million in volume. Your the one predicting this company would be out of business in 3 years. One of the dumbest things i've ever heard. Seriously, i've made my share of predictions on this board (popularity of wireless IM, wireless portals developed by the CARRIERS (not the portals)..ect..) Either admit you were spreading FUD or continue to tell longs that you believe INSP will be out of business in 3 years. btw, another wireless carrier just launch their own wireless portal service yesterday. They obviously don't care what the consumer wants. Let's see who's right so far.. carriers that gives the consumer want he thinks he wants: 1.) Sprint carriers that don't care about the customer and rather profit from the millions, no billions of dollars that will flow through their wireless networks? Some day, the wireless portal will be worth more than the actually pipe. Much like internet portals are worth more than ISPs. That's why these companies would be dumb not to do it themselves. Plus, it increases stickiness. 1)ALLTEL 2)Verizon 3)VoiceStream 4)ATT Wireless 5.)GTE 6.) QWest (formerly US West) If i was investor (which i am), i'd be betting on wireless portal made by the carriers, considering that's how the market is developing (right now) and is what happened in Europe.

spytrdr......lets take this one question at a time and try to just answer my question......Infospace has contracts with over 88% of the carriers to provide infrastructure that allows the user to get information such as stock quotes, news, weather email and alerts......these carriers do not have contracts with other to provide this service. In time this should lead to about 2 dollars in revenue per user This to me is a good story for future growth.......and now the question....In light of the above why do you not think infospace is a good stock to own?
