Regrettably, I can't use soupkitchen.com, Monty, because it's already taken. So the IPO is on hold, even though Abby Joseph Cohen and Goldman Sachs would seem to think this might be a good time to launch new IPO's. (ipo.fizzle.com?)

Instead, maybe we'll use soupkit.com, which should have added impact with customers because it's a spoonerism of sorts, based on an old site from the glory days of IPO's: the Koop site. We won't have to do any branding -- or at least we'll just spoonerize an old brand. We'll have all the branded sheep reverse direction, as it were. (Just as they seem to have done in the market as a whole: "OK, now we're all shorting and can't lose!!! Took us a while, but we're all facing in the same direction again!").

This is all only in the planning stages, of course, because so far we don't have any money to do anything but sit around and spoonerise. We need customers, and I'm pleased that you've expressed an interest. How would you prefer to pay, by major credit card, home equity loan or reverse mortgage? As our first subscriber, you also win some AMZN and YHOO options, which could be very profitable if the price of either one goes over 400 within the next week, as analysts have predicted.

Monty:

Is this thing for real? Man, I have sure been missing a few things of late.

Probably worth "subscribing", just to acquire a few contrarian ideas. (g)

Hello SI admin....... how do we spell "trouble".

Best, Earlie
