>>If that's the case, why buy? Why not wait for a washout in the stock, down to maybe $10-11 or even $8/share to its breakout point. This stock could crash if your theory is right. Your words, not mine. As I stated here, I think that latest compensation plan is completely anti-shareholder/pro-management. I dumped everything at $16 9/32. It will take a while for the damage of that plan to work its way through the stock.

MSFT is a competitive threat to anybody ever doing any kind of business. There, now you know.

jman: I do not believe MSFT is currently a threat. They do not have a product that TV-centric. They are trying to make the PC experience better with TV. ACTV is making TV better with PC abilities. This is a critical difference. Everyone has a TV and everyone can operate one. Who do you think has the advantage? Of course, MSFT spends more on R&D per year than ACTV's market-cap times ten so you can rule them out entirely. But they are not known for being innovators. They are enhancers. MSFT is more inclined to buy a technology like ACTV and then refine it. One man's opinion, please give me your feedback. Scott Heiman
