Web, see my post #5122. What has always worked well for me is to buy stock in the companies that my clients seem to want to buy from. CSCO, IBM, SUNW, EMC, etc. (Yes, I left out MSFT and DELL just too damn expensive, if I wasn't so stubborn I would have made a lot more money). Clients are buying EMC, IBM is supplying components. I think EMC at 96 is a good buy. FWIW.

"I'm not suggesting you view us as an Internet company, but I think it's worth noting that IBM is generating more revenue and profit than all the top Internet companies combined," Mr. Gerstner said in his upbeat remarks. >>FROM: Wall Street Journal. interactive.wsj.com ,a pay site. Worth the money, IMO.<< ...NEW YORK -- International Business Machines Corp. Chief Executive Louis V. Gerstner Jr. told Wall Street Wednesday that Big Blue is not necessarily an Internet company. But the message implicit in his annual address to financial analysts was that IBM is as much an Internet company as any youthful Web start-up. He said he was confident that about $20 billion, or 25%, of IBM's revenue in 1998 came from e-business. And he said IBM is more commonly associated with Internet-based business than any of its rivals.... And he said IBM isn't interested in building Internet-ready devices. "We are not going to build Dick Tracy wristwatches or Internet-enabled eyeglasses," he said. Nah! Let Nintendo make the plastic, IBM will make the glass. Web ps- um, (woo hoo)
