Re: The state of the web developing biz.

Sounds more believable to me...I think a few people pulled some good cash
off IPOs, domain name sales, selling intellectual property rights...but did
they just turn around and loose the quick cash by following a good deal with
an immediate bad one?  It was like a feeding frenzy, where common sense was
checked at the door.

I am thinking usually that I'm not unhappy to have taken then longer
route...:).

Y'know my wife and I once heard on a tour of a lost gold mine that most of
the prospectors that even made money didn't get rich from the gold they
mined. It just wasn't all that much money. Where some of them did get rich
though was from investing that money. The tour guide specifically said this
one miner bought several acres in what became downtown Denver.

Not sure how it relates... maybe that there's always a next great
investment if you can think ahead of the curve just a little.
