Well there goes LYCOS. I knew it was going to happen but I didn't think it would be this week. As far as portals go that pretty much leaves our GNET and makes damn sure it will hold current prices no matter what happens. Figures, I just took some GNET profits in the high one-teens and now I may have to buy them back before I planned if the stock runs. I'm still sitting on a pile of GNET and the highest I paid for any of those shares was 50 1/16 so I guess selling a couple hundred shares and buying them back now (if needed) shouldn't bother me. No wonder why my broker loves me so. A few weeks ago XCIT, LCOS and GNET were all targets on my merger list. Today the list is GNET. I hope GNET holds out for a long time and big bucks as XCIT and LCOS have really increased the value of the company. Perhaps you can see why I say you have to think different when you value an internet stock. I still think this market has more of a correction coming so I'm not going overboard today. I'll only buy if I feel like GNET is getting away from me. Most (if not all) of the powder will remain in wait, as planned. Granted this may not be the way some would play it but if they were up several hundred percent since December, they would sit on the powder and wait till we get wacked in a major way. I've got the time and the money (their money). So if today my broker's kid gets new shoes, well, big deal. I'll buy back a few GNET shares if I have to but most of the cashola stays on the hip. Unless GNET runs I'm not buying a darn thing. BLUE PS Don't forget my target for GNET: 155 (52 week high 142 1/2). TYPE I stocks ALWAYS do what?

Joan, cyber pals, Isn't this fun. The market is getting BILLY JACKED and we are sitting on a pile-o-powder. Most internets are really taking a hit today, even GNET which makes no sense (not that the market ever does). Several internet analcyst are calling for a 20-25% correction in internets now. Now this is what we have been waiting for. I have a plan, a list and the powder. I just need plenty of blood in the streets before I pull the trigger. The ambush is set, steady boys, rock steady. The futures this morning sure were no help. I didn't believe them but it sure looked like GNET might duck one for awhile. Not so, GNET is getting hit with the rest of then. Fine with me, as planned, I'm looking to buy back some shares I just sold but buy them at a much cheaper price. Also I'll be watching CMGI which I just sold at 123. The CMGI was the AOL I bought right before it made the S&P and sold @ 160+ a few days later. Now all the AOL and the CMGI are powder. Talk about your 909ers. The market looks like crap, the internets are weak, The Beast is having his way and may take us to below 9000 on the Dow and below 1960 on the Nas. Smile. One must hold their fire till The Beast is in the wire, till you can see his eyes and smell him. Then when The Beast thinks he is home free, it is time to set off the flares and blast him right between his bloodshot eyes. I do love a good ambush (and the smell of napalm in the morning). 909 BLUE
