From Trader John on thelion.com.......".in the B2B sector we like recent IPO, ASD Systems (ASDS). This is great opportunity to accumulate at $8 1/4 as the last of the "share flippers" are removed of their shares. I personally have a $25 target in 3 weeks time. Customers include Sears Roebuck (S) and Toys "R" Us (TOY). The company acts as a middleman between companies and their customers, offering services such as order processing, fulfillment networks, call center networks, replenishment, e-commerce integration, and supply chain integration. Competes in the same space as Commerce One (CMRC) and Ariba (ARBA). With ASDS sporting a market cap of $145 million it is truly a steal at these levels. "
