Hoffy, Be careful. It wasn't long term investors that ran IMON up to $6. Hraka

hoffy - IMON - Good points. Certainly people are willing to pay for quality. My real worry is/was that I recall reading a MSNBC article that talked about "smart" search engines. Ones that would do what WebZinger apparently does. Allow the user to search generic or specific queries and take the best information and group it together for display. I'd be worried that within the near future, this type of searching would be on every search engine and probably with every browser (look at Netscape's "what's related" feature). The streaming data product could definitely be a winner, but I would worry about it competing with RealPlayer, which already seems to have the market cornered. Either way, as you said, it is definitely a strong short term play. Hey, it's an Internet stock, and they actually have a product! Wow! G Let me also just say, good call on IMON. I was too busy to make a play on it, but this is the second time I'm regretting not playing one of your picks. llater, Tony B
