Good Morning and Good Week techpals! I've returned from the lower-right coast...land of Alligators, water mocs, and manatee's. And believe it or not, I stayed away from the market for the entire week. Well, except for that Thursday afternoon when a ticker was running across the tv screen while Dr. Lojiks and I sipped Mai Tai's and ate Nacho's (at a beachside bar). I kept it hidden pretty well too, although she figured out what I was looking at when I accidentally mentioned that it looked like CPQ was going to hold a reasonable entry price for me. Anyway, we had a great time. But like it is with all "vacations", it's nice to be back home. Besides being able to spend time with my better half, my favorites of this trip were: 1. Air boat ride through the Everglades (saw many gators). 2. Butterfly world. 3. Short cruise. 4. Disney world. 5. Golf. All of these were fun, but I'm very happy to be back home. Soon to be doing some serious portfolio renovation. Waiting for the black pup to arrive (now due Apr. 9th) to check for market sign, dump some lemon funds, and take the plunge. I see you all have been busy...58 new messages upon my arrival. Not easy reading either! <BG> Take care and 909's to my pals, -Joe

Good Morning all and welcome back Joe. Internets are looking good today unless your name is EBAY. AMZN is going at them so you guessed it people are dumping EBAY for AMZN. I've looked for AMZN to do something like this for some time. When GNET hits 150 range it is time for GNET to split the stock (again). The market is going to take another run at 10,000 and GNET can run with it. I forget if it was yours truly or Barton Biggs but THE MARKET CALL now is for the market to run to 10,250 and then pull back. So this is an excellent time to split GNET and run with the market. I'm sure Paul Allen if he hasn't bought his shares by now won't like a split at this time. A split will cause the stock to run but, we own GNETfor now, not Paul Allen, we have a controlling stake in GNET at this time, not Mr. Allen. GNET should do what is best for its shareholders. Russell Horowitz to this date has always done what is best for GNET and GNET shareholders, this is no time to change. If Paul Allen wants his shares, he is going to have to pay for them ($750 million, pocket change for Allen). This is like real estate, sure twenty years ago you could of bought prime land for $100 a section but this ain't twenty years ago. We GNET holders have the prime internet real estate and anyone who wants some of it is going to have have to pony up the big bucks. RUSSELL, GNET BOARD, listen to BLUE, split 2:1 @ 150 range. 909s to all, BLUE
