The EPS numbers are very impressive, but I am worried. I am considering buying, but this seems just like slot machine gambling to me. You buy a 2-3 minute phone card and then get a possibility of winning $1000. I would consider buying the stock, but what is going to prevent some state govt. official from saying this is just a gimmicky way of gambling? It seems like that to me, unless you say the customers are really interested in the phone cards. Do we have information on what the state governments think? If not, this seems risky to me.
