GeoCities pops again today to north of $51 per share before closing at $45.50 on heavy volume. At its high the GeoCities valuation exceeds $2 billion fully-diluted market capitalization. This is where we thought GCTY could be trading its first day but it took the market’s second wind to get it going to the comparable values of the other top 10 Web sites. GeoCities will be in ISDEX, The Internet Stock Index, soon, with other newbies.

CheckFree feels pressure from Internet-based payment options and says the focus now is to meet that market, get market share now, even at short-term earnings expense. We think the move could pay off long term as these are the days of investing in growth and not earnings. Future earnings matter more with Internet companies building marketshare.
