lycos trading at $160 soon by: jgf8u 17754 of 17767 Laugh if you will but I do indeed think that Lycos will be trading at $160 soon . My main reasons for this bold prediction are that excite is due to come out with earnings soon that will beat the estimates and likely the whispers numbers. I expect Lycos to do the same . Lycos is bigger than excite. Lycos will become the next yahoo soon. Lycos will get a lot of publicity with the super bowl and the new agreement with the IBM aptiva lap tops. Lycos will benefit greatly from the Fortune article and investors that were hesistant to get into Lycos will now have another reason for getting into lycos after reading Fortune magazine . If you want to read the article for yourself go to fortune.com . Lycos is one of the fastest growing portals in the internet and their number of users is growing exponentially . Lycos also has going for itself that it is relatively cheap right now trading for less than $90 when compared with less promising companies such as ubid and ebay. Why would an investor be willing to pay $240/share for ebay when they can pay less for lycos . If these are not reasons enough for lycos to move in the near future consider the fact that lycos is rumored to have strong suitors like microsoft and cbs in various publications. In fact I'm tempted to think that once Microsoft wraps up its trial with the government they may channel their interests into acquiring a well-known internet portal to go along with its msn network. Just like disney did with infoseek. Also it does not hurt that Cohen did not speak ill of the internet and the market is due for a rebound next week according to major analysts. I bought lycos at $50 so I really don't need to hype lycos at all since I am already making money with lycos but I will say that those of you who miss lycos right now at its current price may have to wait for a split to get lycos this cheap again. Don't forget CS First Boston initiated lycos with a rating of 'buy' which is not bad at all. An analyst has yet to put a rating of 'sell' on lycos. Good luck to everybody with their investment strategies. Posted: Jan 16 1999 12:45PM EST as a reply to: Msg 1 by YahooFinance Right now there's a minicorrection going on in the 'net stocks....have to realize that the Lycos heads the list of the survivors with a good chance of being swallowed up by a large media company like CBS or TWX.
