Again today, I'm sorry about AMZN. My oil pick FLC moved up 8.4%. Some other inuts did go up more than "the patch" stocks though. Each to his own, I guess. Just wanted to let folks know that they can get really good returns without risking good money in internet stocks.

William -- A sincere thank you. It seems to me that Asia and Europe are far behind the US. Many people look to Europe -- but I wonder about Asia as a net market. In almost every category, I would think the net is attractive there. I think they are getting ripe. Japanese have not been computer buyers and their telecom is from another era -- the stupid, expensive, regulated monopolistic one. I wonder how much Softbank has learned -- they seem to me to have been gutsy players. Was it luck? Do they have a future in Asia? Do they have the money to make it happen? Are they respected in the US or just used for their money? I am going to try to meet 'Softbank' in May. I will be spending some more time trying to assess their role in the globalization of the net -- I do not even know if they are listed outside of Japan.
