Well usually when earnings roll around - we'll discuss them If there are articles, a link usually will be posted and hey if you have access to analyst reports or the recent financial community meetings that CMGI was just at - feel free to bring up points from those meetings and enlighten us... I think we are so apt to comment on the price because this price can move very rapidly - do you agree? Otherwise another great day pre-split So Dale, which company do you think CMGI will take public w/underwriter assistance of course in '99?

Dale, Let me echo an "amen" to your posts on the craziness of worrying about what the stock is going to do in the next 10 (choose your favorite:) seconds, minutes, days, or even weeks. It reminds me of the classic line: "Gee, sir, what do you think the market will do today." "It will oscillate, my boy. It will oscillate." Market timing, in general, is a losing proposition. But market-timing an absolutely volatile, beta-heavy stock like CMGI is insane. Maybe it's easier for me to be so calm -- I'm long at $40 and have a four bagger in four months. But in the absence of a major shift in this stock, CMGI is something you buy for the long term and enjoy it in about 5 years. That's my plan, anyway... I don't care if YHOO tanks earnings or whether the pre-split runup falls away next week. It's the macro that matters, not the micro...
