There will be plenty of shorts that will buy those shares from the venture capitalists. I'm not saying XCIT goes higher tomorrow, I am just saying that if it drops 10 points it is no big deal because it's up almost 40 points in the last week!

Vinman 1 million shares is not that big a deal for a company that wants a slice of this sector. MSFT paid over 400 million for Hotmail from a couple of young guys in their twenties. Bertlesman has been behind AOL and look at the fortune they have made. A few years ago AOL was a very tricky stock to justify owning but a key stock now.. Brand awareness, subscriber base ,page hits etc are the important features...BTW I have no XCIT but have been watching it with awe and wished I had jumped in earlier. Cable companies in their earlier years were not immediately profitable...but those who knew how to better evaluate them on a non P/E basis have made FORTUNES... Once again I have no XCIT but will be looking at it tomorrow... GOOD LUCK ALL ....GRIM
