The leaders are so far Yhoo, Aol, and Amzn. Mark, I understand what you are saying. I understand the growth. I do agree with the leaders being AOL and YHOO. AMZN is so far behind them it is not even a contender. Also, AMZN does a different thing. They buy advertising. They do not sell it. Ah heck...I would not be surprised to see the barnesandnoble site surpass hits compared to AMZN within a year or two. My position is AMZN is pure hype. AOL and YHOO are not. Glenn

>Glenn, i don't think know one in this world has a grasp of the fundamentals >of the internet stocks. Good point, but what does this have to do with selling BOOKS and CD's? Pretty soon Bill Gates is gonna get interested and start giving away books for free in the Microsoft Network :-)

One of best short squeeze in World stock Market History? ha ha ha Anyway, it seems to me that people are really getting into this. I mean, why wouldn't they? they buy in the morning, and sell it before the market close at the higher price. This stock has been doing it for at least 20 days now. More and more small guys are getting in, putting their life savings into this bubble, I say, it would be darn interesting to see what will happen to most of them, when the popping time come by.

The internet is world wide growth phenomena, growing 300 percent a yr. according to the latest gov. statistics. I believe it's the macro economic trend fueling this stock group. The leaders are so far Yhoo, Aol, and Amzn. Look at what the telecos' are doing. The At&t deal will move things in this industry faster. Mark, If this were true, then internet infrastructure companies like ASND, CSCO, WCOM, CIEN/TLAB and LU -- companies that make considerable profits in their own right -- would themselves be doubling and tripling in price in 8 weeks time. Even AOL seems undervalued in comparison to YHOO and AMZN. (How often does AOL, the portal of choice for the masses, get a 10% up day followed by another and another and another and another?) Does anyone know if there is a natural "limit" for these balloons? AMZN, for example, has almost tripled since it was at 40 a month or two ago. I'm wondering how much -- percentage-wise -- IOM ballooned before it popped, and likewise PRST and before them, the biotech stocks. Gary Korn
