Unbelieveable!

Check the market caps.

Then compare to most I-Nets and other networkers.

Much of investing is based on future potential.

Best all-in-one-package available now with Sandpiper. The client list shall grow.

Good luck with your shorts.

LOL..

Jane

Jimmy,

Sandpipers customer list now includes over 100 companies.. I agree that a lot of the new technology sectors are all hype but why fight the system. I am not a long term investor (if that exists anymore) and I bet you won't hold your short position (if you have one) forever either. I have traded ISLD three or four times in two days and will do so again... I just wouldn't short this one right now for any reason. It would be like kicking a bee hive. You might get away alright but odds are you'll get stung. I think ISLD has a hell of a lot more potential than that 18b dollar dog EBAY. or its twin sister money losing dog AMZN.

I know they are not the same business but they are all overvalued. So my point is, This sector is red hot right now so why fight it. I will ride it until I think Its run its course. I think that either way, Tomorrow will be a good day for ISLD if the economic numbers are good. And if you are into the contrarian indicators, All the shorts are whooping it up on most message boards which tells me there are a lot of buyers if it starts to run.

I am thinking that the upside potential outweighs the downside risks.. Downside is mid 30's upside, who knows...

JMHO..

M
