<<<<<. I'm afraid to get off the train at this point thinking it could leave the station anytime! For what it's worth... .......this stock to me is one of the few established blue chips in the internet universe. .......i feel that it will have GUARANTEED earnings in one to two years with no serious competition--compare this to yahoo, asnd, coms, xcit, seek, AOL, etc ............ if it drops a lot i would buy more. ........think of all the people who lost money selling the market leaders too soon. .......if you have not followed this thread go back and read the whole thing--it may make you a lot of money!!!! good luck
