Further On About Cost Efficiencies of E-Commerce... Our new PC client just told me over breakfast that the cost of his order processing over the Web is fully 1/10th that of what it would cost to run a call center with inbound phone orders. Intuitively, I knew there were savings, but I did not know they were of this magnitude. BTW, from the Intershop thread, it appears this rather interesting company is going public in Germany first... its country of origin. Been reading up on these guys: big-league alliances, solid product, etc. As for BVSN suggestion, I think that would be an interesting play. But, I'm still pondering. As for EGGS, let me just go it alone for a while as sort of a forward observer. If anything interesting breaks-- sorry for the pun, well, not that sorry--I'll scramble here with a serving of fresh news. My position is relatively small... and bought by WAVOs rancheros. As a SEEK stalwart, even I will be looking at profit-taking sometime toward the end of next week. And that might be missing some of the final fun before earnings get reported. That's okay, though, I never mind missing a little peace of the fun, just so long as I'm clear of any un-fun after the run. Right now, with rumors and such, this stock should be sold with its own spiritual advisor to help you plan your moves. (However, its recent doldrums and drifts punctuated by sudden inexplicable bursts will probably prove tame in comparison to my new BIOTECHNOLOGY!? friends.) But, Yahoo! is going to beat or at least meet the whispers, so SEEK and other engines of our capital should do rather well... regardless. Best Regards, c m
