Steve, you think your 50% gain makes you safe to stay in? Don't forget this monster went up 1000% in just a few months. 50% of gain can go away in a week. And why is this stuff worth to be held for long term? Just the simple fact that it is in a bitter competition with Bill will drive most long term investor away from it. In my mind the good long term investment on the net are the true leaders like AOL, YHOO, EBAY, and probably AMZN and CMGI. I don't believe RNWK will be independent and remain a leader. They will have a find a home. The way the stock goes, it's like suicide. Who in the right mind would acquire the company at this price? Not AOL at least. Look at the price they paid for NSCP and you'll know they basically took UNDER NSCP. And, if it's not AOL, who else? In my view, if RNWK's management cares about the future of the company, they should keep the stock down instead of up, so they can find a buyer. Afterall, a company that will not survive independently does not make a good long term holding. Well, anyway, it's your money. Good luck! Raymond
