David, thanks for your comments about the company. I've never spoken to to Schick or Delisle, but from what others have had to say, they seem very level headed.
It would be real easy to get more public financing, or borrow more to advertise more, but right now ANYI is solid e-commerce startup that seems to be planning for the long hall. A bunch of these e-commerce sites will not be around a year from now. They'll accumulate huge debt and never come close to earning a profit. ANYI is looking more and more like a good long term hold.
Even if they don't go into debt right now, the word is getting out, there are only a handful of operating e-commerce sites like ANYI that have a proven track record and have a decent customer base. It may not be the fanciest site around, but I personally will buy all my DRIV software off ANYI, and anything else I need. Customer loyalty is key to growth. Look at how badly ETrade choked last week. I am in the process of leaving DLJ because they've given me no reason to be loyal.
BTW, even though this should probably be on the BANY board, I felt I should mention that after ordering my BANY hardshell doublecase this weekend on-line, I received a call from Cameron Yoste (the CEO), to answer a question I posed in my order. I asked if they could customize the case for my Winbook, and he called to let me know that the case allows the buyer to customize it themselves for whatever they plan to put in the case. Now THAT is customer service. And I got 30% off for being a BANY investor! I should receive my case today, and you can bet I'll probably be recommending it to all my friends, especially the ones who are BANY share holders.
So, today could be alot of fun, especially if the internuts rebound. Again it is nice to own BANY when the market tanks:)
Brad, I will do my best to be calm today, in fact I will do my best not to post during the trading day until BANY hits $2. Who wants to predict at what time we'll get that high?
Good luck to all, from the guy with the big :)
BTW - the BANY/ANYI PR is everywhere, but it is not connected with the Yahoo Charts because they used the symbol BANY.o instead of BANY. If you do a news search on Yahoo for "Anthing", it will come up first.
