>>>>Does anybody else think that its quite odd? Yes... It is very odd that CKFR is not moving this morning with the announcement of the Cox deal. I personally chalk this up to the sheep syndrome. If people think that a stock or the overall market is going to move then they will throw their money there and drive it through the roof. However, many good stocks just sit because they have no sex appeal. Insert the 'rocket' analogy here. Rocket is built. Rocket is sitting on the launch pad. Rocket just keeps on getting more fuel added. Some day the rocket will lift off and just keep moving up. I would not be pleased with a Yahoo take over. It would limit CheckFree. Dave

>>>That makes me think that there will be no deal. The only deal in the whole deal? Is this, when Yahoo! comes up with it live...those Banks not aggressively marketing this will aggressively market it. I really don't give a hoot what the survey says about consumers want this bill pay service at a trusted Financial Institution, that's an opinion subject to change. Besides Banks will have to market it, Yahoo! will just stick it in the face of 40 Million Viewers....Charter an Internet Bank....or Buy one like NeTB@nK or TeleBank, thereby turning the table...change the Game and give those stoggy-foot-dragging Financial Institions a Butt Whipp'un like they have never seen heretofore...Blow them right out of their comfort zone on this issue.. IMO....It'd work!
