If I might dare to raise a point: - This thread is one of the most intelligent threads on SI, or elsewhere. Several posters do massive amounts of work to help edify the others. The basis of this thread is Gorilla Gaming. Pure and Simple. There are lots of other threads available to discuss one's favorite stock. The folks here are quite friendly and willing to help newcomers, provided we have at least read TFM and desire to discuss stocks from the perspective of whether they are gorillas, kings, shiny pebbles or whatever. We all have our pet stocks, some good, some not. I suggest that you consider the focus of this thread in phrasing your posts. MCOM is an interesting company. Allen and WCOM are strong allies. IF you wish to propose that MCOM is a candidate for king or gorilla status, I suggest that you do a report stating your reasons in accordance with the guidelines. thank you. larry

that's my style...too bad it doesn't agree with you. It isn't me that it disagrees with ... you are speaking Italian in a French class. Buy and hold long term? MCOM is a great investment to buy now for eventual long-term cap gains. If you would like to present some reasoned discussion in terms of CAP and GAP, we would be happy to discuss the issue. Merely asserting that it is so is of no interest, especially when we have good reason to think the contrary. Paul Allen and WCOM are behind it, and I doubt they plan on letting it stagnate. Like Mercata?
