Dan, I think Bush sold out in the seventies, the Co. sold last oil properties ~ two years ago. OME bought out east cast competitors recently and became near monopoly, in US [no FTC or Sherman Act for them -g-].

Back in at 20. I still really like this story and I like the price for two reasons: 1) People are still dismissing this as a "fish-oil and sausage-casings" company. Once the internet part is spun off that part can be valued as a true internet play. I think people are only just now beginning to see this before it happens. 2) This isn't just a portal. It's a portal to sites they own, but it doesn't matter how I get there because they own the site. For example, I've been using DailyStocks every day and I will continue to do so. Whether or not I use ZAP.COM to get there, they've got my eyeballs. On the downside, ZAP.COM is a lame site and is slow as a dog. But I look for that to improve, because even though they own the sites it would still be nice to have one nice front-end. -jsc
