Yes, you are. The average retail daytrader knows NOTHING of the technicalities or fundamentals of mp3.com. All he knows is that kids these days really like to listen to "mp3" music.

That daytrader assumes mp3.com owns the rights to mp3s, or invented the file format, or gets a cut of the profits whenever an mp3 is sold.

That daytrader does NOT know that mp3.com was just a domain name that michael robertson happened to register a few years ago. He also registered "filez.com" and "appz.com" and a dozen others.. This domain obviously struck the motherload, since Michael has 25 million shares. At one point today, he was worth 2.5 billion dollars.

Don't fight the mania. Profit from it.

>>Am I missing something with MPPP?<<
Eric, the only thing your missing is not knowing how to get the stock, and then spinning it.
Any idiot could have figured out this mania was happening. The only skill it took was trying to figure out how to get the stock from the underwriters (sluts), just before the IPO. Now! That took lying! Promising to hold for 60 days then telling them to sell in the same day or two. Do you think I can't sleep @ night knowing that I lied to Credit Suisse (CS)? Hell no!! Trust me on that.
Ps
Will CS give me shares again? Probably not, but who cares.Cs is only one of a dozen sluts, I've still got 11 left until I have to sleep alone.;-)
