Has anyone seen a comparison between the browsers as to which crashes your system more? I use NSCP, but it really is irritating as much as it says "Netscape has performed an illegal function", and then you have to shut it down. Does MSFT do this so much? I really think the value that has been assigned to AOL/NSCP, YHOO, AMZN, EBAY in particular is ludicrous. Sure I wish I had the crystal ball to have seen this rise, but to obtain the status (financial only) of the world's leading and oldest companies within this short time frame will really put a strain on the "powers that be". I think you will see the "ones who really control the money" pull the plug on these 4 stocks in particular very soon. If you owned one of these companies, would you not be buying up other companies (not Internet) with your shares in order to diversify your holdings? I may be fooled again, but at some point the rush for the doors will get 99% of small investors trampled. To say that these companies with mediocre products at best will be making more money than MSFT, GE, etc. is simply ridiculous. When the blindfold is taken off, many people are going to be hurt. Those that sold part and are playing with free money will be the smart ones. Those that finally jumped in at the peak will be hurt indeed. I remain, SOROS
