LOL Talk about a bubble waiting to bust......Way back when travel zoo was private and they were trying to make a go of it, they had some promotion that if you signed up to their site, you got some free shares in the company...you could register as many times as you like from different e-mail addresses...they were doing this so they could show advertisers how many people were signed up to their site...I thought nothing of it, but I did take the time to register, 3 times, and told a few other people about it...one friend of mine registered 39 times...anyway.....never thought anything would come of it...figured the company would not make it, and even if they did, I saw them as nothing more then a penny stock and figured my best case scenario was I might get a free can of beer out of it.....heck, I was not even tracking the stock on any watchlist.....few months ago I heard some news about travelzoo and saw it was running up to $100 a share....I found my info....went to the site, plugged in my info and it said I had 30 shares and I requested the stock certs, recieved them and sold them at $94.55 a share. My buddy, did the same and got $98.75 a share or $38,500.00 FREE dollars....in any event....I cant understand why travelzoo has not collapsed....the numbers and fundamentals say it is a way overinflated bubble ready to pop...but as we all know about bubbles, we dont know when it will pop.....Good luck....I know this much...I am sure the traders are loving it's huge daily swings and I am also sure the shorts are watching it like a hawk ready to pounce....Heck, I don't short stocks, but if I did, travel zoo would be high on my list of stocks to look at....with all that said..I now expect it to break $100 and hold it and run to $200 <g>
