PT - my agenda is not to slam KOOP, it will survive and could become a take out target at some point. However my concern is that in this market INET plays that cannot show proof on how to create revenue are not going anywere for now. If KOOP gets down below $15 I will be a buyer at that point.

Healthcare is a wicked business - yes it may represent a trillion dollar opportunity but remember most doctors, hospitals and insurance companies are in the red or having a hard time breaking even. I invested in a company called IMAT - they have technology that can detect heart disease in a person through a simple non-invasive technology. This could save so many lives, yet the company dead. The healthcare industry does not want to spend money on patients that are not sick or make them healthy (by spending dollars and then having them leave with their premium dollars for another insurance plan).
For the consumer KOOP is great - the question is will consumers pay for the site, if they care about health why do they smoke, drink alcohol, eat meat and processed foods. Sorry but the average consumer in America is overweight and does not give a damn about their health. (if this were the case every soft drink, tobacco, and fast food company would be out of business - instead they do billions of dollars in business every year).

If I see info. that is positive to KOOP you will hear it from me.
