Tommasso, did you know you can get free maps at AAA when you buy travelers checks. I love AAA they are so helpful. -G- One important distinction about this bubble is that it is global in scope unlike Japan in the 80's. Japan's problems have been mitigated thus far due to the American consumer's spending binge. The only bubble that compares in this century is the roaring 20's but we have managed to top those excesses. I doubt any other bubble has been so global. The bigger da boom da bigger da bust. there will be tough love fer all. Mike

Hi Tomasso, I think you might be interested in what Raging Bull has to say, I am on their mailing list, on 1/15/98 they "downgraded" Yahoo, Lycos, Excite and Netscape, and "upgraded" @Home, Beyond.com and Real Networks. I wonder if they actually have a security analyst on their staff, I suppose so. FWIW, here is an excerpt: NEW COVERAGE INITIATED ------------------------------------------------------ -- Amazon.com -- Cyberian Outpost -- ONSALE, Inc. -- Beyond.com -- Preview Travel -- eBay -- Real Networks -- go2Net -- InfoSpace.com UPGRADES ------------------------------------------------------ -- @Home --Beyond.com -- Real Networks DOWNGRADES ------------------------------------------------------ --Yahoo! -- Lycos -- Excite -- Netscape ------------------------------------------------------------ *QUOTE OF THE WEEK* ------------------------------------------------------------ "We're in a hot market.
