i signed up on the site as is to see what will happen. i guess if i get my activation code next week it took. a very simple process that should not intimidate any potential user. glad to see they had a dozen of my billers on their drop down list. did notice that most of the logos do not have the "guaranteed" overlay. i may trade a co whose mgt i do not have faith in but i will not invest in one. as i look at CKFR mgt i see more long term decisions being made than most of the investors are comfortable with. if a man who owns 6.7mil shares isn't motivated by stock price valuation then i should rethink my position. don't mean to get on a rant but... i am amazed no one has looked at the free advertising we will give up if we start a concerted advertising campaign to bring customers directly to us. YAHOO will market against AOL and BLLS. AE will market against SCHWAB. the banks will beat each other up till they drop. they all have one thing in common: they are spending THEIR marketing $$$ to promote OUR business, to increase OUR revenue, and promote OUR name. if we make ourselves competition do you think we will be able to garner the space on these sites we are getting. free advertising is nothing to sneeze at. i think any discussion of developing our own direct network should take this into consideration. there may be a place for this down the line but for now we have more productive things to do with our capitol. developing a completely redundant system would be high on my list. we have been given a great extended buying opportunity and for that i say THANK YOU SPECTRUM.
