itulip.com truly interesting. Some in clandestine companies combine; Erect new stocks to trade beyond the line; With air and empty names beguile the town And raise new credits first, then cry 'em down Divide the empty nothing into shares, And set the crowd together by the ears. - Defoe

Regarding your comments about advertising dollars - I think of the saying, "Build it and they will come!" The greater the traffic and product on the Bid.com site,the more attractive it is to potential advertisers (and investors). Another thought: California is about the size of Canada in terms of population - give or take a few million. When you add in another 49 states the possibilities expand considerably. With both business and consumer products there is real potential here. I think the last few days with the market going down is taking out a lot of "fluff", stocks pushed up by daytraders into speculative valuations. This drawback in the market is actually good (bite my tongue)and will add strength to the stocks that weather any downturn. Watching the fallout is a real education. I watched it last summer, and if this one settles soon, it will again accomplish a needed "correction". If it continues to a crash, well....... don't think it will though, things are relatively quiet now and the uncertainty of Clinton leaving office is over. Not that his leaving would be that big deal to the market. Alan Greenspan would be the big loss and really put things out of wack. I noticed in the Time mag this week they have introduced Lawrence Summers, his deputy. I think the article helps to pitch Summers to the public in case Greenspan wants to leave in 2000 when Clinton leaves. Knowing him better would make for a smoother transition.
