Richard: < " We could just pick the Internet losers and become rich." > Agree. Sometimes I think it is easier to pick the losers then the winners. EVERYONE is looking for the Next Yahoo, Aol, Microsoft, Ebay, etc.. etc.. ( Everyone except Doug R. that is ) The loser stocks seem to be held up in price by Hope. People hoping, praying, fingers crossed, that their hot little Internet stock will take off and be real winner. Many times it is very obvious to anyone who does not have an emotional tie to the stock, that the stock is a loser waiting to crash and burn. With the Internet being so HOT, everyone and their brother ( and sister ) are trying to get a peice of the pie. Some will be HUGE Winners. Many more, IMO, will be losers. How many US car companies were there in 1920? How many now? How many Aircraft companies in 1930? How many now? ect.. etc.. etc.. I think the Internet will do about the same thing. Big fish eat little fish, all others left to die. I will have to check out the new netscape. Did not know a new one was out yet. Thanks Instock

It is tempting to suggest that E-Compare and the like, will be the the death knell for staples purchased on the net. My gut says, yeah, it's going to help put the kaibash on all those efforts to build brand name recognition, as with AMZN. It really makes it easy to ignore the great name and simply buy on price. It's there on a silver platter for you. On the other hand, every time it looks like something is going to squash a big net company/ or let the air out of the stock, the market finds a reason to bid the darn thing higher. <ggg> All the more reason there will be a time for some serious bloodletting. Reality will eventually take hold and for those shorts who can time it properly there will be a major windfall. IMHO. I for one will probably never shop AMZN again unless E-Compare shows them as lowest price. It's a no brainer.
