I don't know, the first many times some ANALyst cried wolf I sold off my Inet's for a loss having to buy them back at a premium. Since then I have had to learn to ignore those ANALyst in order to not be completely fleeced...

the question I ask myself, has the damage already been done, or there is more to come... I am on the sidelines to buy and feel (or may be wishful thinking) that we may still see lower prices... amein

There was also a major piece on the op-ed section of the WSJ today on "Are Internet Stocks Overvalued? Absolutely!" or something like that. Written by a Wharton professor, with primary focus on the big cap internets like AOL. The sentiment was "sooner or later, the internets valuations have to be reconciled with actual profits and on any historical basis, they are grossly overvalued today." There will be a "counter argument" presented on the same page next Monday. I expected this article (along with the other "rotation to value" stories) to keep the pressure on the successful internets like CMGI and MSGI -- sounds like the Morgan Stanley analyst is singing the same song.
