Esecurities: I fundamentally disagree with much of the analysis pertaining to Internet stocks. To be succinct, much of it is plain wrong and presumes an either or resolution and division between the Internet and other forms of media. Netscape made out well, ensuring an user of its browser..What happens to AOL after all of their new users learn to change the default page and don't enter the internet through their portal? Brand name (ie. logo identity) is important. Directing traffic to your web page is key... The whole wide world and array of media and communication is the road map, not just a portal and search engine that still may not get you to where you want to go. Thus again, the contrarian that I am, will gleefully tell everyone else I told you so.... Or remain a pauper by missing a blooming tulip bulb buying opportunity. Well only time will tell, I've been wrong before. But I have also been very prescient as well.... that's what I do... ztect DBS + CBS = MarketWatch ....quite an equation AND your eye on the market
