Dclk is my favorite internet stock but as you can see it has underperformed some of the others for a few reasons. Its the leader in internet advertising. The premise with dclk is, if you are an advertiser you sign up with their network, and once you click on an ad of theirs once (and they have a lot of sites, autobytel, valueamerica etc.) then they get a "type" on your profile and start feeding these targeted ads to you wherever you go. Its a competing strategy to say, amzn, that sells ad space on their site only. So this is another stock in the internet genre, also very overvalued (but nowhere near as bad as ebay etc) - I would imagine that if you are comfortable with the other inuts you would like it otherwise, no. For a short term trade dclk might be good, I would wait until the 60s.
