I work for a VC firm. I don't think we've ever gone public with our intention to unload to large block in any of our portfolio companies. We work with our brokers to play out the stock carefully without negatively impacting the stock price. I doubt seriously that the folks who invested in Excite (Kleiner Perkins, one of the most successful and respected VC firms in the world) are making a lot of noise about unloading shares of Excite. I could be wrong but I doubt it.

Be afraid??? you must be kidding me... first of all..ever heard of fading a gap second...THIS IS OPTION EXPIRATIONS DAY and Daddy can tell you what that means... you need to be afraid of the MM's stripping your option yeah poor baby....i know that was just too much for your head last night...but take a look at what they did to my option they stripped a buck of the premium on my put and then added it right back..and the stock is at the highs of the day the last I checked what they were doing with the option your dad is buying 5000 blocks??? what happened to not tipping your hand and keeping it at 1000 Can you ask daddy about the blocks this week in the 60 area that were 40k to 100k..why didnt they make those 1000k blocks and why is your daddy buying at 5000K..instead of 1000k and you know...I would really love to know Daddys opinion about what the true movement..investor to investor.. was yesterday on those 6.5 million shares... "On the NYSE and Amex, investor orders are matched in 91.4% and 89% of trades, respectively. Nasdaq's spokesman says the number of investor crosses in its market is 1.7%. In fact, much of the volume that looks so impressive on Nasdaq is not investor meeting investor but marketmaker meeting investor or marketmaker meeting marketmaker. Actually moving a share from one investor to another may involve not a single trade but several: seller to marketmaker; marketmaker to buyer. John Gould and Allan Kleidon in the Stanford Journal of Law, Business & Finance in 1994 analyzed this method of counting volume and concluded that roughly 41% of Nasdaq volume is investor-generated. The rest--59%--is marketmakers trading among themselves, known as "the churn." and this stock will show the true art of manipulation in the grandest scale...and your daddy should know exactly what I am talking about....
