On the investor relation site the repurchase plan is summarized as follows.
"Stock Repurchase:
The Company also announced that it has authorized a share repurchase program under which the Company may repurchase up to five million shares of GO.com from time to time in the open market."
About a month ago there was an article stating that, as of then, there had been no share buyback. We were all very surprised because it seemed that for about a month prior, the stock had shot up, almost daily, the last 15 minutes or so.
I certainly hope you are correct in that they are buying back shares now. That would give them some good news to give investors on their conference call..

BTW - wouldn't it be a Great time to start a DIG stock buyback? Just what kind of sale is Disney looking for, a garage sale?
DIG - Bear Stearns – Attractive - target $15

I remember when we were concerned that DIG might Fall to $15... now, it would be a good start....
Lucky, and glad, to be here...
Regardless of the market, just read of the daily life of the woman who recently died of Ebola and it is easy to realize how lucky we really are, to be where we are, when we are.

LCOS, YHOO, and CMGI are all up in premarket... doesn't mean much with DIG but it beats being down.
I Got A Response....
I asked about when the integration of GO Money and ABCNews would take place, being it was posted to take place on the 2nd. This is the public response from the Moneyscope messageboard monitor:
Health_Is_Wealth, I've passed your message on to the ABCNEWS.com business editor, who should be able to answer you shortly. I believe he's on vacation this week, but I'm sure he'll get back to you as soon as he returns.
Thanks for your interest.

She refered my two week old question to someone who is on vacation this week..... oh well, hopefully we will already know by then.
ABC/EBAY Television Auctions.....

Where in the World.....
Where has GO given us, on their site, to post our dissatisfaction with the "MyPage" and other areas? I send messages to the "opinions of MyPage" on the mypage site and get "form" letter returns.... Does anybody really care?
Anyways, I just posted on the general Moneyscope messageboard(again), which is somewhat similar to sending a message into space - don't know where it goes, and it never seems to return. Maybe if others post concerns/praises/whatever concerning Go.com there, they will give us an investment or sugggestion site in which to post
I doubt it though....

The New Ebay/Disney Auction advertisment on the home page is pretty cool.... At least the first 15 times you see it.
I'd love that Disney sign but it would look a little funny in front of my house, oh well.
Hope there are other surprises as well this week.... like a new Money page. I remain quite disappointed there isn't an area for Disney/DIG Investors(and other investors as well) to discuss their Investments on GO.
Welcoming Myself Back To The Living....
What a week. After two hours sleep last night, I finally got a great nap this afternoon and now have a Week Off! Almost as good as the nice rise in the market today.
I just saw a short story on CNNFN stating that Disney and Ebay were opening a new auction site. She mentioned that the original Disney sign would be up for grabs.... Wish she had mentioned it would be opened for bidding on Monday but she didn't.
What a Busy week for me. Most evenings I have gotten home in time to hit the sack and today doesn't look much different. I think I could use a $10 bump in DIG to boast my energy level a little:)
Some increased integration of GO/ABC may become interesting.... if people become interested:

Disney Auctions...
I have been gone for several days so this may have been already posted - if so, my apologies..... looks like we are closer to the Auction Grand reopening... Oct 16th...

I have sent them five or six suggestions up to this point. Recieving only two or three generic(form like) responses back, I have to believe they are really Not paying attention. Is it possible they just think they are a lot smarter than we are? That is too bad, we could really help make it a better site.
I'm going to continue sending sugestions in, I hope everyone does.
Dick, We can delete each other... but we also have the ability to Undelete a post. Now that could become interesting<G>...
Downing another Michelob, thinking about all the additional shares I purchased the past week. why, why ,why
Maybe when GO/EBAY opens it's doors(loudly and with great fanfare Please) we will see a nice run-up.
Hey, you gotta have hope...
GO "MyPage"......
I am looking for some opinions about the GO MyPage. I'm sorry to say that I think it looks cheap in comparison with other sites. If you compare it with the homepage of ABCNews the difference really stands out. And where ABCNews uses TheWeather.com, MyPage uses something inferior. On my home page for my small town, it shows the low and high temps for the day, but not the present temperature.
Basically, to me, it just looks bland.
Tell me I am nuts, humor me, something.....
Will DIG dig out?
I just bought more at 9 5/8.... why?
Never throw good money after bad.
Never try to catch a failing knife.
Never buy a stock with no earnings.
Stay away from Tracking Stocks...
Never buy stock from a company that doesn't follow up with it's promises.
Sounds more like gambling to me, cause it is<G>. Plain and simple, I still believe in this company.
I bought this stock back when Excite was exciting and I was SEEKing some excitement myself, seems like such a long time ago. Well, at least I go my average cost into the low teens.....

Your House From Above....
Your doing a great job Sham, find the MBT message board would you please. That would be fun:)
I went to a site highlighted by ABCNews tonight where you can look at your house, or city, from high above... pretty cool.

SPEED.............
Ever wonder what speed your Internet Connection is running at any given time? Mine really slows in the early evenings. At the following site it will tell you. I click on the Go Network link but the others may be as good.

It was interesting the way I found the Cat Stevens site. Last month my daughter came home after joining a Sorority(Gamma Phi Betta). They had given her a t-shirt and on the back, written in a spiral, was, "and I've been smiling lately, thinking about the good things to come". I told her it was a Cat Stevens song and I sang the verse to her. She said, "that doesn't sound like any song to me"(probably my voice had something to do with her thought process:).
Anyways, I went to my computer, went to GO search and typed in "Peacetrain". Five minutes later she was listening to the song. Last night while we were watching "Remember The Titans" they played it, and she slapped me on the shoulder with a big Smile.
I Love The Internet<G>!
"Remember The Titans" - Number One This Week.
and it was a pretty good movie so don't think it will fade overnight....

Happy October,

I still have high hopes for DIG, as I have a small fortune invested in it. If the New Site becomes just another letdown I will have to do some serious reevaluation.... but for now, let the next few weeks be Exciting... for Disney and for us..
and may we live in messageboard peace....
