sone - i remember when it was the internet bank and decided to sell picks and shovels to the banks to make their own web based banks

a great move

now with the adoption by more and more financial institutions i think sone could become an invisible part of the 'glue' of internet-based banking

once embedded in the technology of the financial services it could be difficult for sone to be dislodged by any one rival

as a wholesaler i think the stock is a better buy than intuit over time because it's more fundamental to the eccomerce side of finance than intuit
