  • Lycos (NASDAQ:LCOS) keeps up the deal flow with a $5.5 million agreement with CDnow (NASDAQ:CDNW) to sell music via its joint venture Lycos Bertelsmann (GmbH&Co. KG) in Europe. CDnow will be exclusive music retailer to Lycos Bertelsmann in the UK, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Switzerland and Benelux Countries, and other areas where the joint venture operates.

Deutsche Morgan Grenfell lowers its rating to “accumulate” from “buy” while Raymond James reiterates its “buy” based on E*TRADE’s ability to meet its earnings target amid heavy competition. Raymond James puts a $40 12-month price target on EGRP.
