I apologize if I come across as a smart-ass, don't mean to be. I'm only expand on what you're saying, allowing me to think out loud, sort of. My hesitant of jumping into fatb right now is not fundamental, but rather technical. fatb seems to be out of breath, give it a week or so and people will forget why they're so eager to be here in the first place, the traders move on, then I would feel easier stepping in on the support of this stock. About free doc., it's true but only to an extent, companies do want to expand their knowledge base into the industry, but people know they get what they pay for. Linux docs. are freely available but people still buying books on Linux, why ? because paid authors are motivated to put out better quality books, and the distribution process allows the users to search easier for info. on Linux with more selection at one place, your friendly bookstores, whatever that may be. Now imagine that scenario with deeper tech. info, can you see how FATB can help facilitate that. What's the valuation on that ? well, i think we should be compare fatb to another vertical hub like planetRx.com, or monster.com, rather than a mass-marketer like amzn or bnbn. I'm hoping that somebody would jumping in at this point and correct me on my drivels. cheers, tt
