one addition to notes - regarding employees...Russ said that only one employee has ever voluntarily left the Co. since it's inception. I find this amazing. Also said that the branding controversy of the "go" portals may be good short term as people may find go2net by accident and decide to stay.
It was nice to have the opportunity to ask him questions face to face.
A lot of smiles in that room yesterday and plenty of reassurance that this is just the beginning.

GNET >>> Ready to hear what I call "MINDBOGGLING"

Talked to few friends of mine from Redmond and Issaquah (Seattle) and they said don't be foolish to sell GNET now. One said don't sell if you do not have need of money. Another says GNET will hit $400- $500 before end of year ( Though I finery hard to believe ). Yes possibly $250, my guess.
I find it Mindboggling but they have been bullish on GNET since it was in teens a year or so ago. They say this is next "Microsoft" (Which I don't believe :)
I told one of my friend than why don't you just quit your job with a privately owned engineering company and go work for GNET, he says with a smile that I am actually working on it. LOL
Bottomline with other facts they told me, I am convinced to buy back all the GNET which I dumped at open today around $143.
I will be a strong buyer at open tomorrow and this time I am putting aside about 500 shares of GNET aside for long term and shall continue to day trade with others.
Reading to some of the posts regarding the AGM it sounds like Go2Net sites may emerge as the #2 in web portal after Yahoo if they play their cards well.

Just my views.

An interesting possible acquisition?

Hello all. While reading this news brief, it struck me that this company would make a good addition to SI's list of services. Does anyone know of this outfit and of its credibility? Here's the article:

FORT WORTH, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 24, 1999-- StreetAdvisor.com (http://www.StreetAdvisor.com), an investment site offering analysis and insight into technology and Internet stocks, is proud to announce its one millionth hit. TheStreetAdvisor strives to fill a void in the burgeoning online investing arena. ''Twenty years ago most investors used full-service brokers, receiving professional analysis,'' says founder Kevin Prigel, a 19 year-old senior finance and accounting major at Texas Christian University. Five million investors have moved accounts online, leaving behind that professional guidance. Prigel adds, ''that does not mean that professional stock analysis is no longer needed or desired, it simply is too expensive in a day of $8 trades.''

That is where StreetAdvisor.com has stepped in, providing analysis of America Online, Intel, Amazon.com, Cisco, AtHome, Excite, Broadcast.com, E-Trade, Oracle, Network Associates and more. Prigel says the best recent report was a buy issued for eBay on October 6, ''back when it was in the low teens adjusting for the split.'' StreetAdvisor has a model portfolio based on recommendations posted on the site. ''We've tried to offset some of the risks, avoiding large positions in single stocks and leverage. Even with that risk-aversion the model portfolio has returned 85% since January 1.''
