I think due to the creation of electronics.net, CYSP is holding some value. CYSP has not harnessed the true potential of internet like Amazon. It's site is very slow, poor site structure, and products are expensive(unlike amazon, where I can buy books cheaper than local bookstores). But if they can visualize and take advantage of internet medium perfectly, their stock will fly. The CEO has retail experience, but don't have a clue on how to harness internet as a media to reach out people. Just creating a website and put some products is not enough. It is an art to turn each visitor into a buyer whether it is internet, or visiting the store personally, or using home shopping channel. I think CYSP has failed miserably here. Enough said, I will wait for it to come back to $5. I did buy this stock at $15 during internet runup only to take a loss. Swamy
