Interesting weeks ahead for sure. I think many folks have discounted Medsite's IPO due to weakness in the on-line health care sector ("Koop" poop and NASDAQ gyrations). This is such a huge market in the US, 14% of a $7 trillion economy**, that it demands attention. Yesterday's announcement that Healtheon/WebMD directors will purchase $220 million of their stock on the open market may boost investor confidence as well. Also, the health care mutual funds were strong performers this week, which may bode well for the short-term.

Medsite has a well-defined niche, great management, an aggressive strategy, and a significant revenue base. I think it's IPO may be stronger than many suspect. We'll see....

With the Medsite IPO being deferred till the 17th (according to that site that was just posted), it should prove to be an interesting few weeks.

CC, I'm a little confused. You say it has been deferred till April 17th. Deferred from what date? This is the first date I have seen or have I been asleep? In fact I had thought we were a few months away, so it is a nice surprise to hear that it is going a week tommorrow.
