Uh....anyone ever looked at the webdev consulting marketplace recently.....
many stocks at 100 last year are now around 1 or lower.....
many have become de-listed on the Nasdaq....
many have declared bankruptcy....Marchfirst, Inc. as one example.
The BHH tracking stock shows the carnage in price terms.

His strat is to wait for the "Second Coming" of the internet.....and trade
in the meantime.
