GNET >>> All webportals stocks provide excellent entry point, READ With recent bloodbath in webportals stocks I believe that stocks like GNET, YHOO, MINE, LCOS etc. provide great chance to accumulate. GNET is a great buy because of the fact that it also provides split of 2:1 At $130 it is just a great buy. Usually stock with split starts rising when the split date comes near which should happen in case of GNET as such it is not just a long term good investment but it is superb short term investment too. Also GNET is one of the handful companies to have huge cash ($300 Mill) on hand so I expect aggressive growth. SI is about to reach 10 Mill mark which is a major milestone. GNET now has it all : Web Portals - go2net.com ( Like Yahoo, Lycos, Excite ) Online Auctions - haggle.com ( Like EBay, Ubid ) Web Hosting - hypermart.net & virtualave.net ( Like Exodus, Verio ) Web Rankings - 100Hot.com ( Like Media Matrix ) Financial Sites - stocksite.com & SiliconInvestor.com ( Like Motley Fool, Raging Bull ) Internet Search - metacrawler.com ( Better than Yahoo, Lycos, Excite ) Web Businesses Directory - usaol.com ( Like may be AT&T, Sprint, MCI ) Games - playsite.com ( Like may other games providers on the net ) E-Commerce - webmarket.com ( Like many others on the net ) Also metaspy, useless pages etc. In near future with Paul Allen's entry I expect GNET will become involved in Cable Internet Access category just like Excite - @Home relationship. That should be very exciting. My 12 month price target for GNET is $250 GNET is a SUPERB STOCKand my opinion it is a MUST OWN stock at this low price. Just my views.

jon z.i have not posted here for obvious reasons but i need to correct what you said because it is false.i would also like to clarify something while i am at it. 1).i have never ever advocated shorting net stocks.in fact i have warned people not to short them,on many occasions.having said that i have said that they are impossible to value,that they are therefore risky and that many are insanely valued imo. 2).i get about 50 pieces of email a day from the rap and i try to answer them all and the si stuff but combined with everything else i must do it is alot so i generally try to be as succinct as possible.often times i get behind doing this and i always say something about it in the rap.your delay would have been during one of those periods as i rarely get more than a a few days behind.3)not that it matters about my debates with joey as it is a matter of taste but on wed of this week he stated that the p.e. ratio of the s&p and the nasdq were in the low 20's when they are about 35 and over 90 respectively.he constantly misstates facts and slips in opinions as facts.difficult to have a debate when one side does that. for what it is worth.finally ,my policy is to not appear on this thread for obvious reasons as i said so i won't follow up this post but i could not allow an out and out false public statement about my views on a subject(INTERNETS) that is so close to the heart of folks on this thread to stand uncorrected.i don't mind living with my mistakes as i make plenty but i don't want to have to live with ones i have not made(G).

Yes, jon, there's a cast of thousands out there. ...My market prognostications should be taken knowing that they are guess work, may be wrong, but hopefully food for thought. --William A. Fleckenstein If you look at Bill Fleckenstein's latest "Market Rap," you'll find very little with which to quarrel. You might even learn something if you hadn't been following, say, the meandering of gold and silver in global markets or the effects of recent Japanese monetary and fiscal policy. I did. stocksite.com Fleckenstein misleads nobody. His letter's called The Contrarian and his readers know what to expect. He's on record that it's "color commentary--what I would want to know if I was on the road and unable to see the day's events first-hand." In his words, "It's biased." That doesn't mean everything he'd like to know, just the minimum. And it doesn't mean everything you'd like to know. Like TheStreet.com's James Cramer, he doesn't purport to write news, he discusses fundamentals and writes opinion. If you want Net Nitty-Gritty or Rah Rah, you'll read people like Steve Harmon (from the buy-side) and Keith Benjamin (from the sell-side): Harmon: internetnews.com and Subject 25566 Benjamin: internetstocks.com You can be sure that Bill gets a blizzard of email related to his columns and media commentary. Because he's a money manager, we understand that he, like Cramer, can't generally answer in detail or respond to investment questions. (Actually, Cramer doesn't answer at all.) So post here; he'll read you along with the rest of us. Still, I'm confident Bill's grateful you took the trouble to write and that your points and encouragement are well taken. Great if you received a detailed response from Russ H., but know he and Bill have different roles. Bill Fleckenstein is surely decisive and Russ is obviously convinced of his value on the board. That's decisive, too. Who am I, you ask? Nobody, really. But like you, my money's on GNET. Food for thought... BAM
