with Yahoo portal news on the horizon

Regardless of how the stock has sold off recently, as most internets have, the Yahoo! news, to some degree, must still be built into the price. Everyone knows this is coming. Now imagine what a blow we would feel if the "unnamed internet portal" turns out to be Excite. Ouch! It seems that we need some good ol' fashioned increase in subscriber numbers to take this one to the next level. Right now the investing community does not seem too content with "internet potential". CKFR needs to execute. I am confident they will, and so will hold my few shares probably for a long time.

Erik (IMHO)

>>>I would not anticipate a correction of that magnitude, but you never know.

No you never do....however...since it's been raining here so much my Builder hasn't been able to get started on the addition foundation..when it quits and he can get it in that's all he's gonna do I say......I already paid him 1/2 down...I'm going back for more punishment when this is over and buying even more shares and delay the addition...especially at these prices on some issues.

Mama also checked into a swimming pool here at the house and the contractor said 1/2 down and we'll try to get you in by the fall....that's next fall 2000 maybe. He then told mama that they sit down then at Christmas time and figure out who they are going to do next year so we would know for sure then. Well I for one hope the Fed raises interest rates to 20% and queer this booming economy so a guy with cash in his hand can get something done.

We've had an outright boom going on in Michigan since at least 1982....seems to be catching up with everybody else too now.
