dpb5, meme, aloha and others.

does Dig still allow you to create your own message board?, if so could one of you point me in the right direction on how to create it!

Thanks in Advance, and Hello to all of you old dig/seek investors.

Hi Gang,

I ran across this article while doing some dd, and I thought you old Infoseekers might enjoy reading about our old Infoseek founder Steve Kirsh.

Hi Gang,

aloha check out ARIA

anyone interested in a good Tech Stock, check out MCHX, the whole mgt crew is from the old GNET.

I've owned shares of MCHX since IPO...........$6.50 per share....:)))

They have filed for a secondary offering of stock, and I don't know what effect that will have on the stock price?

as always do your own dd, and good luck

A Special Holiday Wish for the old gang, Hope all of you have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

PS meme, leave that Rot Gut Mash at home if you intend to drive....;)...LOL

Internets Heating Up?!?

Sounds more like it's going to be a shootout at the OK corral, and rummor has it, that the old founder of GNET, Russ Harowitz new co. MCHX will be comming out with a SuperCluster Search Engine sometime by fall..

KD, not so sure about the largest pharmaceutical companies, my thoughts would be the companies that have the most perscribed drugs for those on medicare, (could be the largest co's?) although a large percentage could be perscribed as generic.

Help me break down this list of the top 200, and lets see who has the best chance, for windfall profits.

PS lets try to narrow it to 8-10 companies.

Thanks
DB

Thanks KD, I think this may be the one where they said Medicare would not be able to negotiate prices under the new law.

"Where does QCOM stand in all this?"

QCOM holds almost every CDMA patent, they also have 90% of the CDMA chip market, at some point in time, i expect they will loose some percentage of the chip market, but they will still get royalties.

They also have the Brew Platform, where alps mfg have a fast track to the CDMA carriers.

Keep track of QCOM news,VZ,FON & KDDI news they are the leaders of CDMA, it will be hard for AWE (they are in trouble now) Cingular etc, to compete until they launch WCDMA and the Feds haven't even alloted the spectrum space for WCDMA yet. They will have to move some millitary, air traffic controls etc. to make room for the WCDMA spectrum and they will incorporate those moving expenses into the WCDMA spectrum bids = EXPENSIVE mega bucks for WCDMA spectrum. and even then CDMA carriers can still make a profit below WCDMA carriers costs.

QCOM is not a super growth stock anymore, i put them in the same class as MSFT,INTC,TXN just bellweathers that will make you $$$$ year over year, I just consider those 4 as bank accounts that pay a high interest rate.

PS, with Bushs new Medicare Perscription Bill, from my understanding, the Pharmaceutical Industries lobbying just paid off big time. The Vets and Feds, can negotiate prices from the Pharms. But under this new bill, Medicare will not be able to negotiate prices, leaving the Pharms to charge whatever price they want to.

Do you have any ideas on which Pharms, would benefit the most from this bill, should be a bumper crop of profit for some????? Which Ones????

MOT & VZ has given Microsoft the foothold it needed, and now even AT&T says it will offer MOT's smartphone.

http://datacodeinc.com/

Man I don't even like to think about it! Zeeeeeeeeeesh

dpb5, do you know what happened to that little Financial Site, Investorville?, Financialville? Whatever the name was.....Just Curious.

meme, satellite........global star.....was the fore runner in satellite, now bankrupt.....or close....no way they can compete with Cable at this point, just too expensive, look at your off-shore calls via satellite $9.95 minute.....JMO, but DSL don't stand a chance, unless they are in the remote areas where cable hasn't rolled out...

Three hot sectors for the future:

#1 Wireless

#2 Cable

#3 Alternative fuel

Good luck,

DB

To all the old Infoseek crew....


tough luck guys & girls, MeMe if you can keep this board open, use it for a general stock discussion board, and trading stradagies, tips on new stocks, ect......could be a benefit for everyone.....

Good Luck to all

daisy,meme,dpb5

i know that Dis. uses INSP services for directory, e-cupons, and ect....but what other services are they using from INSP's platform, for this Sprint deal, anyone know????

DB

mikemcduck, you have some valid points....

about movies over the internet.......downloads, poor quality ect....but broadband and 3G is the answer to that problem, but the PC's will never compete with interactive TV (larger screens) kids might sit in front of a 17" screen and watch a movie, but teenagers and adults just will not do it.....

http://biz.yahoo.com/prnews/010116/ca_wink_co.html

dpb5, why would Dis even consider buying YHOO, there revenues are ads, and ad money is falling like a rock, besides they have to have some type merger or it's possible that in the next 2-5 years they will not exist, Dis didn't even know what to do with SEEK....IMO at that time SEEK could have been strong competition for YHOO.

OK meme, you own Dis & Dig, I own CHTR, we both want the most bang out of our buck, mabe charter can create a napster for movies.......then CHTR can cut out the Producer...... since we don't have a middle man....LOL


see ya at the movies

DB

MeMe, this is what i was talking about a few months ago when we were arguing about the open access to cable, check this statement....

"Disney, the top-grossing studio at the box office for the third straight year,
would not comment on reports that it also is developing a Net-based
video-on-demand system. But its technology staff at the Burbank lot has long
been trying to come up with ways to distribute movies directly to consumers,
without the usual cut going to theaters, rental stores and cable operators. Last
year, Disney signaled its new emphasis on the Internet by putting its online
business into the hands of rising star Steve Bornstein, who revamped the
company's Go.com portal as a promotional showcase for Disney movies and
other products."

like i said before, they want to dance to the music, but they don't want to pay the band.......

DB

if Dis bought Yhoo, the name should be "vanish" eg........Infoseek vanished, Go vanished, surely they could make Yhoo vanish also.

hi gang, DB

Just droped in to wish everyone a Merry Christmas!!!

Steven Kirsch spending Infoseek money!!!!

Records show that Steven Kirsch, who admits he bankrolled
the Seminole County suit to the tune of $250,000, also
paid $500,000 to a committee that Gore established to
wage the recount war.

Kirsch, who invented the optical computer mouse in 1982
and also founded the Web company Infoseek, was the single
biggest donor to Gore's recount committee, which
collected $3.2 million for lawyers' fees and expenses.

Not a lot of news on Kirsch anymore, just thought some of you might be interested!!!!!

MeMe & all other DIG posters, I have used this E-Mail since the old Infoseek days, but for the last few weeks i have experienced approx....8-10 freeze ups in my computer trying to excess go mail.....is anyone else experiencing this or is it my computer or ISP causing the problem.....i have no other problems elsewhere??????? Is it me or GO just can't get it right AGAIN.

Thanks in advance...

DB

MeMe just go ahead and break out the Whip!!!! Top management is not required to do physical labor, our job is to do the drinking and thinking......and i'm thinking we may have to start saving those C/C & Rum caps and pretend that we have money (monoply money).....i can't find any more change under the cushions either.....meet me at the down-town bar for the drinking, but bring the Rum caps you're paying..;).....LOL
