Thoughts on CMGI and LCOS. I think a combination of the two companies would result in 1 + 1 = 3. Early in year it would have been difficult given similar market caps. But today CMGI market cap is more than double that of LCOS, making stock swap easier. The combined company would rival YHOO in users, but with half the market cap. It would be great way of getting eyeballs to other CMGI sites and linking the entire entity. Comments welcome. I think shares of both CMGI and LCOS would appreciate on such an announcement. Comments welcome. Gary

paul...cmgi and the volatility it has been assigned... you understand the risk, see the reward, and if nimble enough you can reduce your risk to nil by completing the third leg...your money is off the table, from what i can see, and correct me (you too mark, i respect your knowledge) it is a "day trader" issue...probably will stay in favor as long as it flashes signals to all the drones in front of their trade stations to push the buy or sell button in unison...you appear to be in step, so nothing wrong with your profiting from the swings...and if you are wrong, and it falls out of "favor"...merely find another similar issue to give you the cover and then some to roll forward.....it's a beautiful thing......cheers, ed a.
