Can this be made a regular feature on the list? It will be helpful to discuss on the Internet companies are doing in the stock market.

Also it would be interesting to see if any startups have a strong product to survive in the market

It won't be a regular feature by me, that's for sure! What others write is of course up to them. As I said in my message, I'd gotten some queries in e-mail, enough to indicate justification for one public message summarizing a bunch of points. Especially seeing as how these stocks have been very much in the news this week, and have been discussed on the list. But this is not "StockPunks," so I don't plan to comment unless something important comes up. Investors (and speculators) are well-served by various news sources, including the "Wall Street Journal," which also carries at least one great article per day, and sometimes even two.
