Glenn, have you studied HOMS--Homestore?

It looks like Kleiner Perkins has taken over the $1 Trillion U.S. real estate market when we were not looking. HOMS looks like a candidate for a broken IPO. It is 5% above the nominal price, although the did successfully double the offering price at the last minute.

Reading through the S-1, it becomes apparent that they have got all the key players on board, with the exception of a lawsuit that they need to settle.

I just started my DD tonight, and will look to buy in a few weeks when the internet correction is more severe.

Tom D

Incidentally, I will be off line for a week, starting tomorrow.

Hey!
1.25 billion!
30 Million!
Bout The Same!
Doesn't really matter does it!
Naaaah.......
Now if the rest of the offing,
goes off,
i will rest,,,
What is wrong with going for it,
going where we haven't been before,
what do you expect Mr Bezos to do,
say...
oh ok, guys,
we made a mistake,
we will not try to grow this biz,
because everyone convinced us that the market
sucks
and the growth sucks,
and it all sucks,
and we should just throw in the towel,
because the worldwide book market just flat,
out sucks,,,
and all markets suck,
and overhead sucks,
and everything sucks,
and having billions of dollars to grow a biz,
sucks,
and the weather sucks,
and it's cold out,
and victor says it sucks,
so it must,
in fact,
suck,,,,
well,,,,
i'm under the general assumption
that these dudes are doing the best
that they possibly can,
and they are trying to run a
hypergrowth biz,
at a hypergrowth pace,
and the big money got their ass
bar-BQ'd on the way up,
and they are pissed,
and it's all an ego thing,
and they can't give it up,
and they keep up with their mantra,
and it's all a comedy,
and it's all about big,
old money,
egos,
and nobody even cares any more
about the big old money,
egos,
because it's not about that any more,
it's not about that,
This Market cap is going to be bigger
than walmart,
it is going to be bigger than anything
we have ever seen before,
somebody is going to be big,
why not amazon,
why not the first,
why not the name,
why not the brand,
why not the vision,
what is wrong with it,
nobody even cares about the
egos,
anymore,
it's way past that,
it's way past all of that,
sure the bonds scare me,
sure the big money
deep
dark,
behind closed doors,
deals,
scare me,
but the growth,
is not stopping,
same store sales,
are slowing,
because they make
me sign up with a new account,
how many accounts do i have,,,
2
how many books do i buy,
a lot,
how slow is the learning curve,
well,
very fast for amazon,
I don't care about the egos,
and i will let this rest....
