couple of thoughts: 1) i think uswb is a good play for a few months, based on likely strong revenues and earnings for the quarter and decent forward projections. the second quarter tends to be a pretty easy sell in this business, so if they don't make their numbers watch out. for now i will assume good news on the horizon. 2) one of the main reasons that it no longer carries a huge premium is the supply of shares is huge. with hyped stocks that get the 25 year old progammers excited, you need a limited float to get sensational moves. Now with a projected float of 100 million shares in the next couple of years, it doesn't take a genius to figure out there will be no shortage of shares for sale.....100 million shares in a company whose insiders show no sign of holding on for the long term does not bode well if you're expecting to make a buck on internet hype. 3) i have said it before. i will say it again: uswb is not an internet stock, and will not behave like an internet stock for reasons that have already been stated. cheers. rick.
