>>And this trivia contest: Other than biotechs, what companies were hugely unprofitable for their first few years after going public but went on to major success? I don't know the answer; you tell me. America Online for one. Please, Bill. This AOL/AMZN/YHOO triangle is old news. Everyone knows that the three work together to hype eachother to unrealistic valuations. This has nothing to do with merit. This is just eyeball manipulation. Thats just fine... but now the cat is out of the bag. The triangle is exposed. The emporer has no clothes. AOL may continue to grow... but its piggybackers now had better sink or swim on their own. Personally I think Playboy has a keen advantage of AOL in the eyeball manipulation department. :) What do you think? -- Zax Go KTEL Go! :)
