Buried in an article on Intel in the LA Times today was the following paragraph. " Jeffrey Cole, Director the UCLA Center for Communication Policy, predicts that 75% of U.S. Households will have Internet -capable computers by 2005. That compares with 45% today that have computers and 18% that have internet connections today. --Cole says, 'the internet is being accepted faster that television was in the 1950's'" There has been a lot of numbers tossed around on this board about market penetration, and you may dispute the above, but the 18% internet figure is much lower than I thought, and helps justify the astounding numbers we are seeing for internet stocks. Remember, one man's "momentum" is another man's "Value". To all you "shorts" out there, good luck!
