>>People are just going to get tired- and they're going to realize that _wow_ it really DOES just take a few weekends to put up an ecommerce site.. (IBM will build you one if you can't find programmers, btw. they advertise for their services all the time) That doesn't get you traffic. The premiums here are for customer traffic growth. If you have a car, you could start a car-rental company today. Try it. People will get tired. They'll go back to their lives, stay with the leadership, and leave the popcorn to the daytraders. That's how Microsoft, Cisco and Dell became the great investments they did. Right now there's a flurry trying to trade on the next Amazon, eBay, AOL, and Yahoo. I ask you in retrospect...who really needed to find the "next Microsoft" in 1988?
