It seems clear to me that the only person who has been reasonably objective here is Shane. I am long NM but it is funny to watch how much PS hypes NM vs. how much you, Mike, try to knock it down. You have pointed out, correctly, that some statements made about the relationship between NM and CD could not be proven. However, as a sure sign of desperate measures, you, ironically, are one of the guilty parties (which I will highlight below). The truth is none of us knows what the relationship is yet. I would guess that one of the reasons for the vcall tomorrow is to clarify this relationship. So just relax, and stop trying to warn people about NM. It isnt an either/or situation. I think CD is a great stock on its own merits. Enough with <<Since CD has only hired NM to do the marketing and promoting of Netmarket's web site called "everything4less", it is 100% certain to me that CD gets most of the money and that NM will fizzle. >> You dont know this anymore than the others that you argue against know the relationship. It is 100% certain that NM will fizzle? I mean, is it as obvious to everyone else as it is to me that this is the classic overstatement to mask an insecurity. 100% certain, huh. << If you own shares in NM you do NOT own shares in "everything4less", because CD is the proprietor. You only possess shares in a marketing vehicle. Beware!>> Oh really, then help me out in understanding the press release from 11/25, because if what you claim is true then NM could be sued for claiming that Everything4Less is their website. Everything4Less Up and Running LOS ANGELES, Nov. 25 /PRNewswire/ -- National Media Corporation (NYSE: NM) today announced that its Everything4Less Website , originally scheduled for Thanksgiving weekend, became operational on Wednesday, November 25, 1998 and can be accessed at www.Everything4Less.com or, simply, www.E4L.com.
