CMGI is my favorite Internet pick. CMGI's concept is very very smart. CMGI is a venture capital company investing in promising Internet ventures which are still in their infancies. CMGI does what no banks would ever agree to do. CMGI injects money which allows these puppies to grow. The next stage is that CMGI introduces them to the stockmarket. Every time a new redhot Internet company goes public (IPO) CMGI makes a killing. For small investors, buying CMGI shares is the only way to participate in those IPO's, because usually those shares are reserved for Institutions and Money managers. At the moment CMGI has 30 IPO's in the pipeline and a substantial interest in existing moneyspinners like Lycos and AMZN. On January 11, 1999, CMGI's share will split 2 for 1. There is still a chance to get in cheap. CMGI was listed as one of the Magic 25 by the Individual Investor (iionline.com). CMGI is the ultimate Internet stock. The more people get to know about this unique company, the higher it will fly. AOL is a great stock, but I believe that there is a lot more upside potential for CMGI. Good luck! Michael B.

Bear - AOL is the #1 PURE Internet play by Mutual Fund Managers. It seems to be a guaranteed home-run now and in the future . The stock has exploded, but what we've seen so far may be just a minor flare-up compared to what may be coming next. With the Netscape acquisition (an absolutely brilliant maneuver), the Sun-Micro deal (to compete against MSFT's "Windows") and a multi-million user subscriber base - that not only likes the service, but, also keeps buying the stock - $100 per share will probably not last too long. This is a true freight train. You're right - even the hint of interactive TV will surely move the stock much higher (has there been any official news from the company stating that interactive TV is on the agenda ? or is this an educated guess by an analyst ? or just a rumor ? I do not own AOL, so there are no self-serving motives in this reply. AOL did not get to where it is by accident. They have charged ahead through a series of top-name affiliations and acquisitions. They also have major visionary talent running this company who are not afraid of risk and who want "to go where no company has gone before". Thanks for the post - great pick !
