Actually that AOL/HOMS stock deal becomes a massive liability that could BK them if I read your post correctly..

If the investment public (so-called professional money managers and retail investors) considered the issue of stock issued to employees as an expense item, nearly every tech stock would be selling at one third to half of their current valuation. I humbly submit, the the HOMS story is not unique, but has merely garnered increased focus due to their giving of stock to business "partners" like a lot of telecom equipment firms have done in order to bump up revenues for sweet IPO's.

Info, Yea, it kind of reminds me of what happened to Winstar (WCII) last year. They cut all kinds of deals with vendors like LU and when the bottom fell out of the wireless sector, WCII was trading at $0.14 when it was halted. I don't believe there could ever be much of a earnings stream from realtors. Most transactions are local. At best, all of the potential earnings add up to maby a 100 million dollar company, not a 3 billion dollar market cap that it has now. -John
