BERLIN -- Lycos Inc. wants to be listed on the stock market in about two years, chief executive Alfred Tolle was quoted as saying. ''We want to go to the stock market at the end of 2007 or beginning of 2008," Tolle told the German newspaper Die Welt.

Tolle forecast Lycos would be profitable for the first time in its 11-year history this month and said it's open to strategic investors ahead of its planned listing.
