"It is so ridiculously priced that you won't make much if you hold this stock for a couple of years. You will probably lose." I respect anyone's opinion. What are your idea's on why Realnetworks will be down in two years?

I must disagree. When I bought this stock I bought it because I felt it had long term potential. With all due respect to your comments, I thinks you are wrong in you summation that RNWK is only a shorterm stock. They are in a solid position in terms of technology and name recognition. They have very few competitors. As well, the DOJ already has an open case to review Microsofts Monopolization (whether it is trying to do so) attempts in the streaming market. Microsoft is RNWK's main competition, and even then, MS is paying royalties to RNWK for it code used in Win '98 and elswhere. RNWK is a new company in a market (the Internet) that is becoming unstopable). Big business is all over the Inet trend (big bucks are starting to flow in to this area). I gain, I mean this with all due respect for your opinion. There are no guarantees.
