Servus Internetti !
Vielen Dank für Deine Antwort. Inzwischen habe ich es auch über Yahoo Finance rausbekommen(6% über den Erwartungen).
Mich wundert es auch, daß dieser Wert so stark verloren hat, obwohl alle Analysten sagen, man soll sich auf Werte konzentrieren die schon Gewinn machen.
Bei 18 Dollar werde ich zu schlagen. Da kann man nicht viel falsch machen. Ich bin mir sicher, wenn man dann ca.ein Jahr wartet, daß dann
wieder Kurse um die 40 Dollar drin sind.

Ja, das sehr ich auch so. Allerdings habe ich noch so einige Werte in der Watchlist bzw. schon im Depot,
denen in demselbe Zeitraum eigentlich eine bessere Performanz zutraue (INSP, AETH, ENTU und auch
CSCO, EMC, ORCL). Ich werde sie wohl doch "umtauschen". Hat jemand ein gutes Argument, mich davon
abzubringen? Dann sagt es mir bitte!!
Gruss

Ich habe US WEB schon ewig.
Zwar mit 100 % die hälfte Verkauft, aber jetzt...

Warum die so abschmieren. Weil Ihnen der Aktionär sch....egal ist. Alle Übernahmen und neue Mitarbeiter wurden mit neuen Aktien bezahlt. Die MK stieg und stieg und der Aktienwert fällt trotzdem.

Eigentlich hätten Sie schon längst 3 mal Splitten müssen.
Ich halte Sie zwar noch, aber großes erwarte ich nicht mehr. Wollte nachkaufen, aber die letzte Übernahme, wieder mit Aktien, hat mich gestoppt.

Wie machen das die Anderen, wie z.B. Cisco, die ja auch nicht gerade an Übernahmen geizen?

I dont know, but this part of stock collections makes me feel sick.
Unfortunately the poor performance isn`t easy to explain for outsider.
As an insider I`m very confident that the stock will launch a rocket start..from my point of view its a good time to build up the number of stocks...

[John Rossi]

Good mornin´,
I´m also quiet confident but I will not pay €20,35 for a $18,0625 stock !!

Hey Michael,
could you explain "rocket start". The sky is the limit or where will MRCH be placed at the end of 2000.

Would be nice, if you can give us some details.

Bye and thanks in advance,
Rossi
