Lisa -- I've been reading for several weeks and I actually appreciate your negativism since I'm trying to put together several lectures on e-commerce and I want the downside. At the same time you seem to not really get that the web and the net are not the same thing. You also keep insisting that some of us just don't understand. Well, you may be right -- but once in a while step back and reexamine your position, instead of just being defensive about it. There are a lot of very bright people on this board with experience that goes way beyond trading in the stock market. I'm not new to the net. My daughter used it in 89 to "talk" daily for free with friends in California. The hypertext protocol was invented at CERN in 89 by Berners-Lee. Andressen developed Mosaic in '91 -- but commercial use was PROHIBITED until 93. Five years later, we are already at this level. In 1908, the airplane was barely a toy. In 1953 there was one important computer called Univac. THIS IS DIFFERENT. I won't debate it with you. I can't guarantee SEEK is valued correctly. Like Mr. Sinclair, I am building a portfolio of many internet stocks. I suggest you are very bright and take a look at the bigger picture. Play the market now if you want. It will likely go down 30-40 % between now and 2010 and return. If you're really good you'll make more money timing trading and playing, than I will sitting long -- but my odds of not making a critical mistake will be a hell of a lot better sitting and watching my stock collection grow. I just wish, I'd conviced my father to put that $10,000 dollars in Polaroid in the spring of '59. Weby
