CMGI absolutely took off this week. If finished the past five trading days with a gain of +$29.56. Believe it or not, the surge should continue. On Thursday March 11th, CMGI will announce its quarterly earnings. It is possible that they could also announce a split. Even though the company just split back in January, CMGI is steadily approaching its all time highs at the $155 level again. They also have enough authorized shares for another 2:1 (100 million shares authorized and approximately 46 million issued). Watch CMGI take off this week especially if the markets can sustain their present rally.

Dear JP, << I think the weak link in the Internet chain is your professed strngth. I do no believe these companies will be able to keep their audiences captive. Its just to easy to go somewhere else in cyberspace. The cost of comparison shopping has been practically eliminated. Profit margins will not improve but decline. >> Here's the way I see it: That relentless competition is why the early leaders are so intent on staking out the geography. Later entrants will find it that much harder to get started. Big players will ultimately dominate. They will be able to extract a profit from it, or else they will go down the tubes, and none of us will be buying goods online. IMO, Brian
