Susan, Way to go on the DCLK. I had a great day myself thanks to that Yellow Dog Pup, saved me big bucks. I'm sitting on a pile-o-powder. The only two stocks I'm active on is GNET and CPQ. I'm buying CPQ on each down move, I bought more today at 30 5/8. Perhaps I should wait but I'm playing with the markets money and this is the best internet investment there is at this time. I know I sound crazy but I sounded crazy a little over a year ago when I said the same thing about GNET. So big deal what if CPQ drops five bucks a share on Monday? I'm not worried. The day the IPO spins off it will be up more than five bucks a share. This is a total no-brainer if you have some time to wait for the Alta Vista spin off. Last I knew CPQ and Alta Vista were number four or five of the top 100 internet tech sites. IVIL was a pain in the butt so I turned chicken and ran, I think my broker made money for my trouble. Bad day to play an IPO but I thought we would have some good swings with it and we didn't. Oh well you can nail them all. 909ers BLUE

Hi Susan (great pick GO DCLK!) what to do, what to do....well let's see now me with a 21% gain on a Sixty Cent Rise and not much cash invested - now the split is coming in three weeks; there's no question but to hold all PAYV shares for now and watching what happens under The Microscope. But 72 points for you is almost a double in two weeks, sure enough to give pause for a decision...Out of 3 doors, pick one - One is a Lady sittin' pretty, One is a Tiger-striped kitty, and One is a Cash Register!!! Looks like whatever you decide to do, you're looking at a win/win situation....but the only way to nail down a win/win for sure in my experience is conservatively taking some basis out so it's a free ride or almost, anyway. But I don't always follow my own rule either, especially with a Dotcom like this in these circumstances, and sometimes been glad and sometimes have regretted whatever it was I did. Whatever you decide depends on what you want from the profits and the stock; best luck with whatever you decide to do. Isn't it nice to be presented with such a smile-making choice?! 909 Squared (Your Doubler on Doubleclick's gonna split!!) Joanie
