Today's news:
Bankboston Robertson Stephens' report:

VALUE AMERICA FORMULA WORKING - We believe now is a
compelling moment to focus on Value America, which we
believe has been almost completely overlooked in this year's
wave of IPOs. While its difficult to point to a magic
formula, the basic ingredients of a successful eTailing
strategy start with attracting an audience and building
brand momentum through above-average customer service. The
first step of service is securing supply. Value America
effectively offers a direct marketing channel to major
brands across a broadening range of consumer and SOHO
product and service categories. More brands are attracted by
the growing audience, which in turn provides an incentive
for the manufacturers to put more resources behind product
fulfillment. We have been pleasantly surprised to see some
2,000 brands now represented. We expect the next positive
surprise will be membership growth. Value America has
established dozens of relationships with large charitable
and religious organizations. The marketing method is to
have these groups ask their members to shop at a custom
Value America store affiliated with the organization. In
turn, Value America shares a few percentage points of
revenues with these non-profit companies. We believe the
response rates on these marketing programs will prove
surprisingly high. This provides leverage to Value
America's accelerating advertising spending, which is also
supplemented by manufacturer rebates for highlighting brand
values. As such, we believe Value America can show positive
revenue surprises in the June quarter, accelerating through
the summer season. Few eTailing competitors are trying to
be as broad and aggressive. We find the logic of Value
America's program appealing to these multiple partners that
can provide competitive and long-term financial leverage.
