The worst thing posted for ioi must be ubet.com. A secondary on a BB stock??? Who would even consider placing an ioi on that?

mact:stamp.pos.com guys has no revenue according to the prospectus but has what appears to be some heavy weight venture capitalists (probably got in with a couple of bucks and a few stamps a share)behind them like Paul Allen's Vulcan,Brentwood Venture Capital,Chase Venture Capital and a few others and about $28 mil in cash and cash equivalents(hope it is not in stamps).<vbg> I think I'll pass, which means it could sky rocket like that koop.pos.com.-Who knew!!!

I don't mind a risk, mact... ...after all, I own CAIS, NETO, et al. {gulp} BUT, as anyone knows who has ever had serious dealings with the federal government, absolutely nothing is certain and rarely is it "timely." And the STMP prospectus goes so far as to say that they need approval from the USPS prior to their competitors getting approval. Man, that's one tall order IMO! I am gonna take a chance and leave my CO on STAD, though. They do have revenues, and are in a fairly untested niche in that they target the college crowd. Their site is nicely laid out, and it looks like they've been working hard by the number of affiliations listed with local merchants in many cities across the land.
