ultimate success will require that significant revenues eventually be derived

And what strikes me about KOOP and many other inet sites including those non-health related, is the total lack of an investment return translation. Call it earnings if you will, but I really mean how will a serious investor get a return. Even IF they go out and "get" some revenues, will they have any after-tax earnings to speak of at the end of the day. And how will that translate to enhance shareholder value.

Peter Lynch says the number one good thing a public company can do for its shareholders is buyback stock. I suppose that can be true for a mature, established company, lest they start diworsifying. But with so many of these outfits, I fail to see how they can even get their retained earnings portion of stockholders' equity up to snuff.

Their cash reserves and line-of-credit will last only so long. And then you're 100% right, Eric, there will be blood in the streets - ooppps there already is - I just read the morning paper.
