scott i certainly agree with all you have said I believe playing the net stocks is playing with fire, and mostly just for the reasons in your last post ... re: valuation but they are hot ... and huge gains can be made .... and so makes for great temptation. but ..... losses too will we recognize when it is over? ... probably not soon enough ... hence many of my stocks to watch ... lately, have been the boring, fords, disneys and amgens of the stock world. nets ... heck, even a stop loss does not do much good ... just sticks you in a stock that one day gaps down 4 dollars on the open ... then what to do. thanks for that post ... need a good look at reality to open eyes ... before it becomes nescessary oh, and revaluation ... it isn't that it is an unknown ... just that it is an unknown to many new traders ... the ones out there playing nintendo on the trading net ... the dan millers and such ... just dying to get in on that new hot "NET" stock ... or whatever... that is what I meant by valuation is in the eye of the beholder, not that there is no valuation.

>>"Valuation is in the eye of the beholder." No, it isn't. Valuation is a real and measurable item. << Surely you have got to be kidding! If that was the case then ZAP should be trading at 500/share.. Look at the barriers to entry on something like that. Where you going to find people to skin fish all day long? , aka intellectual property. Where you going to find people to invest in a fish oil company to begin with? Would you say to someone I made my money in fish? And if all that aint enough, Where you going to put the stuff? There is the logistical problem of finding a place close by rather than in the middle of the desert. Then there is the problem of find a place to get rid of the toxic waste.. aka fish heads! And if all that aint enough, Where you going to find peope to buy the stuff?
