I suspect the big Street investors will want to see quantified earning power before they buy the stock with abandon. In the meantime, there doesn't seem to be any shortage of sellers. Everything I'm buying now Bob, I'm averaging up anyway. That news today was almost good enough for me to just load up, stop posting, forget the market, and check back in 2 years to see what the going price of CheckFree is. I've really been waiting for this move to the Button. Every successful internet e-service, e-tailer, site...can trace success to a simple 'button' off a well trafficed site. Bob they bought me out of Intuit on no earnings at all, and almost everything else. They IMO just have to figure out what's going on, and believe it. I have hoped that this would come for a long time, and was told it would never happen, this in an unexpected surprise for me. I, Doc have anticipated, begged for this. I've seen the power of the 'button' to spur growth and drive share prices, and believe it.

>>> I suspect the big Street investors will want to see quantified earning power before they buy the stock with abandon. I agree. That being said, the 'Big Street' investors are so used to jumping from sector to sector, stock to stock, when and if they hit a good stock, it shouldn't be surprising to see them jump right off. I don't think it's fair to call them investors, to invest is to make a commitment. I wouldn't call what the Street does a commitment, maybe a half-hearted trade, at best. If the Street was a person, they would have been married and divorced more times than Elizabeth Taylor. I think most posters on this thread understand this, and you most certainly do. Your investment experience and style should be an example to live by. I also think Buffett and Lynch should be required reading for any investor. Benny (just thinking)
