I know what some of our opinions are re: the Yahoo message boards. For the most part I find that the IFLY message board there flies in the face of that collective yawn. That said, I found the following to be pretty reasoned and compelling: << I like your analysis, and appreciate your diligence. The same type of comparison was made by the financial editor in AOL's finance page back when IFLY first entered the radar screen after a huge two day run up. His advise at the time was to wait until the stock reached a new support level (after the run up) which is now 7 - 8. Then a long position may be a good investment based on the comparisons that you and he have made. On the release itself, I offer the following: I work for a fortune 100 company and I am associated with the investor relations and marketing departments. My thoughts on the timing and the tone of this press release is that IFLY is holding back. Management knows full well that there is a delicate balance between fundamental performance and potential. Internet = potential!!! If I were to hazard a guess, I believe that managements goal was to satisfy the fundamentalists of the investment world by releasing very good numbers after the bell on Friday, but are waiting for next week to capture the speculators. This combination of investors will not only give us the quick POP, but it will also allow the price to be sustained over the $10 mark beyond the traditional 1-2 day momentum stocks. Good luck to all. Next week could be exciting!!! >>> Again, from a poster on the Yahoo IFLY thread, posted shortly after the earnings announcement.
