Mr. Blankmind,

As you know I used to own IFLY stock. Anyway they said the same thing about AOL, AMZN, and YHOO before...yet look where their stocks are now? PTVL is the leader in online travel reservations. I agree IFLY has a pretty good income statement, but as you are well aware, fundamentals alone can't do it for the stock. Name recognition is key. You have to buy your eyeballs...PTVL has done that, that's why they are burning cash at this rate. Do you think AOL, AMZN, or YHOO could have become leaders in their respective fields without all this cash-burning marketing?

Best regards,
Tony

the one item with ifly is the cost to get web presence. it may cost them over 100 million dollars to try to get the comparable real estate to that which ptvl has staked a claim.

RUMOR ONLY, i have heard that the ifly website keeps breaking down.
