Rob, as Trudeau observes, bigger operating losses are something to brag about in the comic world of the internuts. Jan, you don't really think COMMONMAN actually bought at this morning's low do you? Note that he waited for it to rise by 3+ points before he implied that he had bought "DE DIP". Of course, if the rally fails, we won't hear from him until the next rally following the next dip, which BTW, he will imply he bought. I'll give Bill credit for going on record, though it looks like he would have been better off with DELL or IBM. Bob

That's not so bad is it Glenn? I mean just an increase in losses from -$.45 to -$1.50 per share for year 12/99 isn't any reason why bulls shouldn't just charge ahead and buy more stock. In fact, I think it's a great reason to double up - how many companies are blessed by the gods of internet stockdom with increased losses so that they can fight off the pervasive nature of competition on the net? Rob, The above is only a 233% decrease in earnings estimates. If 2000 is another 233% decrease, we are looking at a loss of $3.50 per share. That is only $175 million in losses in one year. This is a great success story. Glenn
