Peter: I guess I haven't made my point, but I suppose it doesn't matter. My point is: this website isn't going away any time soon. You have to understand the nature and financial power of the vested interest in its success. It's kind of "indispensable" at this point, and there are "powers that be" who will assure that it remains viable, in one form or another. Investors have to make their own decisions on this stock just like they do with any stock....but if anyone labors under the delusion that this is just another one of those dotcoms-which-soon-will-be-dot-gones, that person probably will be wrong. And by the way, if you think the big guys who own big real estate brokerages care about stock options.....do a little research.....they don't need stock options. If they wanted them, they'd have done IPOs a long time ago. (If you take notice, the owners of car dealerships don't do IPOs and go to Wall Street for their money, either.) <edit> Woops, have to make an exception for those companies which are part of Cendant....and we all know what trouble THAT company got into. In my comments above, I'm exclusively referring to the types of large locally owned or regional independent brokerage firms which are not franchises.
