Rande, in all the time I've been reading this thread (since Xmas of last year), I've never seen you rate a stock so aggressively (NATS). Knowing that your reputation is on the line, that tells me something. Thanks to Rock_nj for bringing our attention to it. Look at the spread today. That MM wants your shares!

I am having a hard time understanding how becoming an online broker will increase NAT's valuation... Yes, it will increase revenues (over time) but it probably won't increase profitability any time soon. It will move it into a bigger spotlight from where it stands as a regional player, and maybe that is enough to get it to appear on people's radar. But if being an online broker was so great, why aren't more smaller players doing it? Or is NATS just ahead of the curve. Just thinking out loud... Full disclosure (always wanted to say that <g>): I bought some at 4 1/4 and may get more if it dips, but can't decide whether to treat it as a long or a position play, a dangerous state of mind to be in.
