ok so youve done well in the greater fool theory... I still challenge you to name one legitimate co. that has aceepted internet stock as currency.... Well, I don't know about the "greater fool" theory bears always love to bring up, but I have done well. Quite well in fact! If that is due to some theory that bears love to espouse every time they make a few dollars on a downturn, so be it. Now, I'm not really sure what you mean by "legitimate co." Is that to say that any company that isn't a internet co is considered "legitimate," but anyone associated with the growing boom is not? If so, please let me know if companies like CSCO, DELL, IBM, MSFT, ORCL, AOL are really "legitimate" or are simply vapor! Whether some dinasour brick and mortar company accepts stock as currency is irrelevant. As is most often the case, internet companies buy out other companies within their own industry. Your not going to see AMZN buy out Wal Mart, because AZMN doesn't need them. If your idea of legitmacy is simple to be some company that isn't associated with the internet, then your blind to the fact that the internet is pacing the new economy. The greater fool is someone who fails to realize this trend and fails to capitalize on it. S.
