4) It just ain't an internet stock, folks. Internet stocks are companies
that use the scale and efficiencies of the internet to sell it's core
products: books, stock trades, toys, financial services, etc.
<<Unfortunately for USWB each additional sale requires hiring and managing
a human being to replenish it's inventory - this is not an internet
model, this is a services model.>>

Yes USWB is a servies company but it is disingenuous to say it isnt an internet stock. It's future is very much tied to the growth of the internet. As more and more companies use the net USWB will be a direct beneficiary. Their potential growth is on the scale of the internet companies and their strategy of growing as fast as possible (through aquisitions)right now is precisely what the internet milieu dictates. USWB is taking the steps that are required to cement them as the leader in their space.
