MP3.com not a proven gorilla, Robert. Just proven hype. Haven't yet read the prospectus, but see no evidence that it's well managed, only that it's got tons of buzz. I'd certainly buy the IPO shares as they're bound to perform well on the first day of trading, even in a soft market. Thereafter, MP3.com is strictly "unsolicited." It hasn't convinced anyone it knows how to make money. This, of course, has nothing to do with whether RNWK should buy it for its traffic and momentum, which I believe is a good idea. It would have been cheap in December/January; it will be costly now. Will let you know if I become inspired. BAM Like your picks: long PCLN, RNWK; no position in ETYS; looking to get back into HLTH.
