The house's will lead folks to the dow stocks...techs dead
mean while they're buying/accumulating. Then the upgrades will start and all those folks will own MO..Kellogs..Ect

<<how does icge make its money?????>>
>Sort of like CMGI <G>....the model doesn't work too well in this market where the IPO window is closed.

We'll find out on the 13th, when CMGI reports. Actually, they are trying to build profitable operating businesses, not relying on the IPOs any more to post profit.

IMO CMGI will rebound big time in 2002.

See, thats where people are so wrong about cmgi and icge. ICGE really is not an ipo incubator that relies on sucess thru only ad dollars and ability to take their private companies public. CMGI fits that model, although they are trying to change, but icge....they arent partnered with gardeners.com and whocares.com.......I've done my homework on the company.....would take way too much time to put all of it in writing, so folks should do their own DD on icge and you will be quite surprised. First, they have alliances with some huge names....not a few alliances, but many. many of their partner companies have potential to all be very profitable...as I said, the shed the dead weight, and what they have now is a stable of very solid companies....check it out...look at who they have, and then look at each company seperatly. At least 16 have huge potential on their own, private or public........if the ipo market comes back and these fine companies can be brought public, that will just be extra icing on the cake.....but their partner companies that they are concentrating on, are actually doing quite well, and new alliances are being formed every day.

Very big differance between icge and cmgi...very big.....I feel very comfortable buying icge at current price without the slightest hesitation. I feel eventually icge goes much, much higher....who cares if it ever hits $200 again....$35 is very likely in my opinion and maybe alot more if the market really comes back strongly........I seriously suggest people look at who their alliances are with, check out all their partner companies and look at each one individually and you may begin to look at icge as a bargain at under $5...frankly, they have 16 very solid businesses that are on their way to profitability....if only one is sucessful, icge will be sucessful, thats all it will take. If many of their partner companies are sucessful, icge will be just that much more sucessful......

all my opinion of course
