Cheeky, my post was not about on line music, but to point out that market price is no indicator of fair value. I chose MPPP because I still recall you pounding the table here when it was in the 40s and some folks thought that it was overvalued. Of course there are many other stocks with price swings as wide which could be used as an example. Regards, Barb

Cheeky - on a similar note. Stephen King has been marketing a new electronic book directly on the internet through Amazon. Readers who want to read each installment pay $1.00 to download it (usually in PDF format). It's an experiment he is doing, and I suppose it is working out well enough for him to keep writing installments - as he threatened to stop writing the story if the turnout wasn't worth it or if people downloaded without paying. Check out the link: stephenking.com As far as music-downloading goes, I see it as a potential supplement to CD/SACD/DVD-A sales, but not replacing it at all. It seems like it's just human nature to want STUFF, not just the electronic analogy of STUFF - and so sales of CD's/SACD's, DVD-A's will probably continue to be the backbone against which downloadable music formats sell.
