not sure about the "rough afternoon". you could be correct. there were sizable blocks on the buy-side today. would like to see more. it appeared they were buying on the dips and attempting to sustain price. relative to your logic - it sounded to me as if you were saying, "if it goes up, they'll sell and if it goes down they'll sell". why not "if it goes up someone is going to buy, and if it goes down someone is going to buy" too? or a variation, "if it goes up or down someone is going to buy and sell and if it goes down or up someone is going to sell or buy". no offense. if 2 billion people on earth get connected to the web over the next six years and only four main search engines are used , isn't it probable that even for the smallest carrier, significant revenue could ge generated? seek is as capable of signing contracts as Yahoo and the rest.

I'm sick of listening to your butt speak. It's the shorts pulling down the stock and the daytraders. Why don't you go hang out and prey on some other site. You remind me of a vulture.

Pretty easy to see who was doing the buying today, and it wasnt institutions. It was ma and pa thinking they are getting a greeeaaaat deal with the above. Yeah, right, like ma and pa have the dough to be buying over 7 million shares today. Let's see, that's only about 235 million dollars to throw around. So, to whom do the ma's and pa's make the check out to? Some of the reasons for short-term price movements by shorts and longs alike just crack me up. Someone says, "smart money is buying". Someone else says, "smart money is selling". So, how does one know when money actually becomes smart? I guess one could say that the money I used to buy SEEK at $16 is really smart money and the money I used to buy SEEK at $10 borders on the genius (the people who bought at 4+ and have held have the genius money). Now, I guess you could say book is still out on the money I used last week to buy SEEK at 29 (it's just slightly smart). Good day true SEEKers... -tk
