bosco, i will assume you know who i'm referring to re: highest level of mgmt. (does AA help? <g>) As for the second part of my statement, i am referring to the distinct possibility that a large part of insp's success prior to 3/00 and even until its merger with gnet was working the system for all it was worth. and that system had to do with a bubble market for new econ stocks. it's about smoke and mirrors, secondaries, stock splits, fancy acquisitions and mergers, PR, and not necessarily, about running a business soundly. So what's the result? Now that we're in a market focusing on "value" rather than hype, we see insp's stock price at under 4 instead of 139 just 12 months ago. amzn is another company caught in this smoke and mirrors game imo. Hope this makes some sense. Disclaimer: am not an expert on all the specific details the way some folks on this thread are. this is just my general impression as someone who bot insp at 55 i believe this summer and sold it recently (and thankfully) at 5.75. i am just trying to make sense of that price move, the recent management upheaval, etc.
