<<<The 'Things' stock price is about the average person in the world shopping on the Internet.>>> True. Myself and everybody else on the thread--we are probably all yuppies and/or propeller-heads. But I suspect that more and more of our good 'ol average God-bless-American families have two wage-earners. There is little doubt that the internet will be as common as television. It is being adopted faster than the telephone or television. Few dispute the projections for 100% annualized growth in ecommerce for the next five years. (And if you don't agree, a bunch of keiretsu samurai will show up at your house with their ceremonial swords.) So, what are all these average people who have such little time going to do when it is time for holiday shopping in the future? I am willing to hold on for the long haul. Best Regards, Tom Thats why I will continue to hold on.
