Cabot Market Letter is recommending cnet as one of his first buys in months. That should be helpful.

AI, i was also surprised at the paucity of upgrades on cnet. btw,my selling at the open was purely for technical reasons, i trade the stock all the time, so i'm sure i will return to it. which is to say i have not turned bearish on the stock,in case you wondered. i still think of cnet as a prime takeover candidate for the likes of yhoo. if it isn't taken over,no matter, cnet is a first-rate player in it's own right. obviously i disagree on what you say about amzn. from a trading perspective, my immediate concern is whether it can break out to new highs. fundamentally i believe the surprise for this quarter will be to the upside rather than the downside, but that's just a gut feeling,i have no evidence to support it. but one thing is beyond dispute: amzn has the most powerful e-commerce brand and it is much more than just a book-seller. the potential for amzn is in fact unlimited with regards to the businesses it could enter. i only trade the leaders, and amzn is one of the strongest. regards, hb
