Humbly report, WST, regarding your An analyst said this friday evening on the program NBR that the smart people are presently buying the internet and technology stocks. He says this is big buying opportunity. An opportunity like this will not come in a long time. Watched it, don't recall it - could have missed it, got distracted for a while - but nothing like it in the transcript: quote.com Cheers, Svejk proofsheet.com P.S. OT: Re. #reply-9637946 - still cracking up.

speculation: CASH for aggressive marketing of "Go2Net.com" and all of its entities (a lot of people still watch T.V., read Wall Street Journal, IBD etc., we're even talking T-shirts, and bumper stickers, whatever it takes. Personally, I prefer a spokesperson, like a famous actor or actress or rock star that can target the widest or most specific audiences; I wonder if Ringo, or the Taco Bell dog are available. Also, the name Go2Net has meaning, its a direct instruction and easy to remember as opposed to Lycos? Yahoo? (The dial 10-10-220 ad comes to mind.) The ad mavens can have a lot of fun with this one. This strategy is so simple (get the name known), and it works! Political elections are won on this basis. And Yahoo, Lycos, Aol, Snap, Apple, Wcom, Intc, Ibm, and Beyond.com, to name a few memorable ones, are on top of it already. STOCK for acquisitions.

I have some questions regarding the extra shares of stock. If a significant portion of the stock is used for acquisitions, how does that affect the future value of the stock? Since you are using the stock to buy companies, will it affect the value (negatively) of the current shareholders in any way? And, will all of the outstanding shares affect the number of times the stock can split in the future? What about using the stock for stock option and incentive plans, and perhaps secondary offerings? How does that affect value if at all? Thanks for any explanations.
