My advice: Look at old internet-star, who could make an big come-back: Internet Capital with a market-cap of only 424 million, free of debt, 180 million cash/securities and ownship in about 15 excellent private hold companies. Share-price yesterday was $10.74 - but fair value is about $30.
What does a market-cap only 424 million mean?
If we subtract the 180 million cash/securities from the 424 million market-cap, there are only 244 million for the ownership of the 10 biggest private hold companies of Internet Capital: 65 of ICGCommerce, 26% of Starcite, 15% of Creditex, 32% of Metastorm, 33% of Freeborders, 46% of Vcommerce, 5% of Emptoris, 41% of Channelintelligence, 35% of Whitefence and 9% of Anthem Venture.
244 million: that are only 35 million for each ownership ( all together = 175 million) of the BIG FIVE: 65% of ICGCommerce, 33% of Freeborders, 26% of Starcite, 15% of Creditex and 32% of Metastorm. But every ownership in a company of the BIG Five has in the average a worth of 130-150 million.
304 million: that are only 14 million for each ownership ( all together = 69 million) of the NEXT FIVE: 46% of Vcommerce, 9% of Anthem Venture, 35% of Whitefence, 5% of Emptoris and 41% of Channelintelligence. But every ownership in a company of the NEXT FIVE Five has in the average a worth of 30-35 million.

Re: Alternative 3 second(s) ago An investment is a low-risk-invemstment, because Internet Capital is debt-free (in opposite to earlier times) and has 185 million cash/securitites by a market-cap of only 415 million. But because it is small company, the percentage of Internet Capital-share in your portfolio should not be higher than 3%-5%.
But I believe, you should hurry with a buy, because a short-squezze is near. Additional to the 90% institutional holding we have a shortselling-rate of near 10% of the outstanding shares. This is a explosive mixture, I never had seen.
