You didn't answer my question. Here it is again: " I missed this part of the thread - which 'coming shock' are you talking about? -- Jake

I have my own ideas on why ATHM made the purchase but they can't be confirmed right now. Just because they cant be confirmed doesnt mean you cant put forth possibilites. Many are still somewhat mystified by the XCIT purchase, especially at the price paid. What insight/guesses do you have as to the hidden value in XCIT? Eric

Ainsworth- Are you referring to moi? "Just that all the riverboat gamblers who are chasing this stock up had better open their eyes to the downside risk, and admit that they don't have the guts to ride out a significant downturn. The same lack of patience to wait for buying opportunities on the way up will surely turn into panic-driven sell-offs on the way down. That is reality." I am pleased to know that you have "some" sleuthing ability. I assume it is "I" you are referring to in the above comment. I thought I mentioned I was a dealer, not a gambler. I am amazed at how well you know me since I have posted a grand total of five days. My eyes are open, and have been with this stock since my first purchase of it at 23. I am not a major holder of this stock, but do have 500 shares. If the stock were driven to zero, it wouldn't change the way I live tomorrow or the next day. Like anyone, I would be concerned if the stock pulled an Ahhaha and spiraled downward to his projected 20 pt. gap, or worse, to his 50s or 60s placement of where the stock should be. (By the way, Ahhaha, we are closer to your 20 pt. gap, then to my 20 pt. upward gap.:o) CONCERNED, but not on the edge of panic. I am a believer in this company and the future of broadband. This stock has had its wild swings since I first began watching it in Oct. of '97. I caution all the people I convince to buy this stock that it goes with the territory. In closing, you mentioned "patience." Buddy, I sit in a classroom eight hours a day with 27 ten and eleven year olds. I have done it for 20+ years. Patience is my middle name. Ed

Ooops! My first attempt at italicizing was a little overzealous! Ed

>The XCIT deal is OLD news, do you really think this stock price >has not already built in the most optimistic of outcomes for >that deal. And just what is ATHM buying there? I agree. I use ATHM's service. I also NEVER use their content, and could not care less about XCIT. I use the same home page, and bookmarks, etc, as I did before I got ATHM. I just use them faster now. Any money spent on content is wasted on me, and plenty of others who know that the internet has all the "content" anyone needs, w/ no need to package it into neat little bundles for morons.
