>>> My only question, & I'm being sincere so please don't flame me, is why anyone would invest in a money-loser such as PTVL? When there's money makers coming on the net in a few weeks, such as IFLY? <<<

We have already discussed this several times.

Market is valuing potential and revenue growth rate vs. a few pennies in earnings IMO. In fact the market is probably valuing IFLY more on growth rate than earnings as well. I think IFLY will sink or swim (NETwise) based on their web placement and execution. Discussion can be found here:

Blank........The question you should be asking is not "what company is making money" but "what company can you make money on. PTVL WENT UP a few hundred percent last summer and doubled last week in a couple of days, think about it. Go with the flow.

Ifly has also been volatile, but is at it's high end now, so pick your own poison.
