Personally I think it is the market as a whole.
Many in bbs live in the ground, and aren't aware
that all markets are hurting. I keep hearing "why isn't
my bb moving up?" When the rest of world is hanging
on wondering what will happen next. JMO

What has hurt us the most in the launch of the web site was it's constant delays - 4 months as you say. We couldn't have come out at a worse time in the market. Going live on June 8th, timed with the internet euphoria would have given all of us the bang for the buck we expected. The "event momentum" has been taken out of the "event".

All of the BB high flyers had done so well - why shouldn't we? We had a 5 million day when the web beta previewed. If you were lucky enough to be watching the ticker, trade by trade - the upward pressure was enormous. It simply couldn't be held down. That kind of buying is just not there. I would bet that many long term investors were buying a good deal of the shares yesterday.

I am sure that any remaining "event traders" left in the room yesterday evacuated while they could. I hope they find another good one. The most needed ingredient here is a steady stream of news, coupled with the marketing blitz and a new breed of investors. When you factor the teleservices business - this could be a great ground floor opportunity.

Most investments go in cycles. We'll be back......Norms
