Anyone here paying much attention to I-Payment?
Wondering how their line of bidness might overlap and otherwise compete with CheckFree.

I searched around a little
but there just isn't much information on them.
I can't even find any SEC filings for their IPO that went off today.
They gained 31% on their first day of trading on the NAZ.
Symbol: IPMT.

Kinda sad when the first IPO in a couple months is tainted by something like this.
Sure doesn't do much to reestore my faith in Wall Street.

Bear Stearns Used Analyst to Tout IPO
Monday May 12, 12:29 am ET

Days after agreeing to a sweeping settlement aimed at overhauling the way Wall Street does business, Bear Stearns Cos. reverted to the practice of using an analyst to promote a new stock offering, The Wall Street Journal reported Monday.

To be sure though, those loose lips provided the only financial information(and not much at that) I could find on them.
Apparently, 5MM shares at $16/share would give it a pro forma PE of 15.8 times 2003 estimates, 13 times '04.
Nothing to get excited about, but under current market conditions
it's probably still good for at least a double before any financial information is available, huh.

a Bear Stearns research analyst said an assumed initial per share offering price for its stock of $15 would represent 15.8 times a pro forma earnings per share estimate for 2003, and less than 13 times a pro forma earnings per share estimate for 2004.

IPayment told potential investors in its IPO filing that, "any estimate or projection of future operating performance is necessarily based upon a number of underlying estimates or assumptions that may or may not prove to be accurate."
