Interesting comparison for everyone to ponder: I bought some EGRP (E-Trade) at $27 per share a while back. About a month later Chris Cristakos announced a $25M ad campaign, the first major announcement that started the on-line brokerage ad wars and forced many on-line brokerages to lower their commissions to compete. After this announcement the stock steadily rose to about $47 before beginning its retreat. Could this Super Bowl ad for IOM be the harbinger of a similar move in the stock price? I don't usually like to speculate in this direction, but my God, that ad will reach 100 MILLION people! This has got to give the stock some upside impetus. Any thoughts?
