I need to take a closer look at INIT. This recent flood of Internet IPO's is swirling around in a froth that I haven't been able to organize yet. Not fair adding several dozen stocks which we need to keep an eye on, all in a couple of months. E*Trade is so screwed up I can't even quotes much less trade at the moment. PETM has a few problems with debt, their UK division and not marketing their Web site, but I really liked the store I went to in Dallas in January. If they can push the Web site through their traditional advertising, I think people will turn their first. I think of branded companies (CDNow, CompUSA, etc.) when I am looking for a specific kind of item. Pet owners are also very loyal to shops which have what they want. Sears is dying because they tried to do everything and did it badly. And I still wouldn't go to WalMart for anything except really simple staple items (not high end pet supplies).
