There seems to be a split between the Bulls and Bears on this stock which is almost equally divided.
Fortunately, I don't have a whole lot of money invested in this stock, so if I lose, it's OK with me. However, it seems to me that Internet related stocks are on fire and the E-Broker business is just getting started. I missed the boat on search engines. I use YaHooo alot and my start page is customized through Excite. I also used AltaVista from time to time to hunt for stuff and occasionally Lycos. Who knew the price of these stocks would rise to such heights through advertising dollars. So here you have Excite, Yahoo, Altavista, Lycos and a few more that have done exceptionally well.
Then there's Barnes and Noble, Amazon, Books a Million. I missed the boat on Amazon. Why isn't Barnes and Noble trading as high. Books a Million had a serious serge then came back to Earth. The way I see it, E-Brokers are going to be volatile for a while but mergers and consolidation are likely, so I jumped in. Eventually, the longs will win the battle. JBOH has restructured, new management, and their website looks good and is relatively quick. On top of that, there seems to be an advertising blitz taking place too. On CNBC, I've seen JB Oxford advertised quite a few times. They obviously have money to advertise. I checked out the other E-Broker site Myerson or something like that. The site stinks. Seibert site makes you feel like your getting experience and security in knowing that Mickey has a long time reputation on Wallstreet.
I like the NDB site. They waive the IRA fees if you keep over 10k in it. Does Datek have a symbol? I don't think they trade. |
