First, I am long in this co. That said, there are many probs w/ LPGL. My position is a very cautious long, and I am out on a limb being in this stock because of numerous overhanging issues:

* not very open sharing of info
* closely held shares
* some recent issues re mgmt team
* small track record w/ Internets
* crowded field of CMGI wannabes
* there are many other better CMGI-like candidates (such as SFE, ICG, to name 2)
* LPGL is thinly traded -- recent burst in volume will not make up for the fact that two months ago 15k shares day was avg volume
* relatively small float
* NETP hasn't even been priced yet, let alone traded
* no one seems to know the exact nature of the underlying portfolio (yes, we do have some info)

This stock will move a bit with NETP provided NETP trades substantially above IPO price (2x), and more if NETP is a star its first few days.

When LPGL reports earnings it will gain some add'l attention and may then start to seee another move beyond the 30s. For right now, I see small moves into the low-mid 30s, unless NETP comes thru w/ the above scenario.
