I "asked Jeeves" if their IPO was really a piece of shit and got the following answer... You asked: Is your IPO really a piece of shit? I know the answer to these questions. Click the button for the best one. What is an IPO? Which stocks are going public this week? Where can I find a beginner's guide to investing in IPOs? What cars have been recalled since 1989, and why were they recalled? What are the most successful IPOs in history? And with that I say, "We'eeeere off to see the wizard, the wonderful wizard of OZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Ask Jeeves named "IPO of the Week" by Renaissance Capital... Our IPO of the week is the answer for those people frustrated with the traditional search engine. Instead of typing in one or two words and then trolling through hundreds of irrelevant links, Ask Jeeves lets you type in direct questions, such as 'What is the capital of North Dakota?'. Whereas other search engines would return an endless list of potentially useless web sites, Ask Jeeves will point you to links that can best answer your question. In addition, the site will return other related questions you may be interested in. Using its proprietary technology, Ask Jeeves transforms searching the web for information from a time consuming chore into quick and easy process. While the company is still very small and faces significant competition, it offers a unique and effective solution to one of the biggest problems for Internet users. ipo-fund.com ********************************************************************** Their pick last week was Juniper which I guess was sort of a no-brainer. Still in the DD process--thanks for all the input Larry, Mo, Mayo, ftmp and Pashabear. Here's the ones they had to pick from: * This Week's IPOs * Although over 20 deals were scheduled to price last week, uncertain market conditions led many to delay their offerings another week. As a result, the calendar for this week has swelled to over 20 deals. The deals that were pushed back include seed producer Seminis (SMNS), global high-speed network provider Digital Island (ISLD), online travel wholesaler Travelscape.com (RSVN), online mortgage provider E-Loan (EELN), and online music and custom content provider Musicmaker.com (HITS). In addition, a number of new deals on the calendar should attract investor interest including question-based Internet search engine Ask Jeeves (ASKJ), business-to-business e-commerce network Commerce One (CMRC), religious radio station operator Salem Communications (SALM) and scented candle retailer Yankee Candle (YCC).
