VRSN hasn't split has it? Some one said it had. I think it has just gone down to maybe near half of what it once was. I owned 1000 shares between 27 and 44 last feb-march loved it. Sold at 44. Just checking back now it seems to be lower then I would have guessed. LT

It's always been in the Net club. It's a big internet play, but people are waking up to how absurd it's valuation is. Don't forget, the CEO admitted a few months back that their relying most on their brand name (I assume he meant they were a first in and that gave them a branding advantage). That' crazy if well known big companies get into this industry. VRSN has impressive technology given it's staff and resources, but their services can be easily be beaten by companies with bigger names, bigger pockets, and bigger appetites for the mega chunk of cash that is coming soon from verification.
