<<so they are not making a profit now does not mean squat.>> You are the first I've seen here to acknowledge this. I agree completely. <<If 75% are repeat customers that is absolutely terrific!>> This is good, but it could also mask some bad. If the reason is because they can't get anyone new to buy, this would not be good. Remember, they are spending those marketing dollars for a reason, and if they can't create a broader consumer base, they, like amazon, are hosed. This is an open question... Mo

>>If 75% are repeat customers that is absolutely terrific! Most companies would kill for that Most companies would kill for NEW customers, too. If this percentage gets much higher, the market will crush this stock to 1 times revenues or less (look at K Mart). The stock price anticipates huge growth in revenues. Ain't gonna get there with the current client base.

Doug, shorting before the street takes this one up up and away so i can buy more below 25 That is not as unlikely as you make is sound. The company is in basically the same shape as the last time the stock went down to $12 starting from $34. Why would you buy at $25 when you didn't when it was trading below $15? It is easy to be bold as the stock is going up. It's not like earnings are actually growing! If the market sentiment ever drives back towards value plays vs speculative ones, God help you if you are long in stocks like ONSL! :) Sincerely good luck (I have no position).
