Yahoo is still odds-on favorite internet pick. What other "Web-database" development companies did you have in mind? I think conventional database companies that make their wares internet friendly have a lot to get from the web. Oracle for one will surely have its day again.

<< Amazon went from 16 million is sales to nearly 90 million. Just think what an accomplishment that was. >> And they only lost 9 million getting there. I was thinking about starting my own internet commerce company called CashWeb. What I will do is sell 1 dollar bills over the internet for 99 cents. CashWeb sales will blow the doors off of Amazon's and I will have a much better return (I will only loose 1% + expenses which I can keep well below 10%). I'll go public with a float of 2 Million shares, keeping 23 Million for myself and the company. When the stock reaches a Market Cap of 20 Billion (I'll be bigger than YHOO), I will buy out real companies like the entire US Steel market growing my profits and revenues even higher. Like some of you already know, AMZN is just a mediocre company with an unjustified market cap. A couple of years from now this stock board will have a couple of posts a day and we will be on to the next great hype.
