William, please, your now talking about gold mining stocks. Please remember you told me not to compare the 'Thing' to Brex-mining.

>>I think the Internet is like the Wild West land grab. If you got there first and then defended your claim you got VERY rich.

William, William... it doesn't matter if you understand this since you're a trader, not a long-term investor, but here goes:

THE REAL ESTATE ANALOGY DOES NOT APPLY TO VIRTUAL OR UNREAL ESTATE. The prime characteristic of physical space is that no two objects can occupy the same space at the same time: hence staking a claim in the land grab.
