Hi Stephan, According, to todays trading day on Netscape stock has really got me skeptical, 1- I was really expecting a 1 to 2 point decline. Yes earnings were much worse than the market had expected. 2-We had 2 downgrades #1 HOLD , & #2 WEAK BUY. 3-Yes, the markets were soaring today, but with weak earnings and two downgrades we had a great day. Well go figure! The only thing I could think of is really a merger or a takeover, YES really a merger or a takeover someone out there knows something more than we all do. And it could be in the very near term. WELL, where there's smoke there's fire. Maybe all the rumors will materialize after all. I just hope its to our greatest benefit. regards, Giota P.S. I'am still very bullish!
