How times have changed. Bambi on CBS Marketwatch thinks ASKJ is a "safe haven" internet post war stock. cbs.marketwatch.com But when the market unravels -- and it will -- and you have to select stocks that are tangentially tech-related, and walk away for a couple of years, I'd be more compelled to look at Internet names. They're the survivors, like EBay (EBAY: news, chart, profile), Yahoo (YHOO: news, chart, profile), as well as smaller online media names, or search-related companies, like Overture (OVER: news, chart, profile), Looksmart (LOOK: news, chart, profile), and Ask Jeeves (ASKJ: news, chart, profile). (Look/Jeeves had a good run Monday, so they may come under pressure on Tuesday. But Yahoo could see shares lifted ahead of its analyst meeting scheduled for Feb. 12. Overture is likely to announce another partner deal as early as this week.)

I've decided to do YOU a big favor. I'm out @6.40. I made a fortune on this and maybe I should thank you for your bashing. I'm not sure anyone ever reads your posts besides me so I guess that makes me your biggest fan LOL. So - do your best, See if you can bash this down. If it tanks, I'll get back in. I don't think it will. I think it is probably going higher. However, it reached the point where I was violating internal rules about my investment. That is, because of huge gains, it represented too much of my portfolio. It also has gone very far, very fast and may be ripe for a down turn. Don't get me wrong, I think the company has done a fabulous job turning around. So - it's time for you to admit you were wrong on this one. Let's see how big a Truthseeker you are.
