"when their target audience is the very wealthy?" WRONG. I have not read all these posts, but I think you miss the point. How many millionaires shop Wal-Mart? Probably a lot. But, how many millionaires pick up The Robb Report and flip through it in Wal-Mart? Probably none. Point? The MILLIONAIRE.COM website will generate traffic. HEAVY traffic -- from rich and poor alike. Companies buy commercials during the SuperBowl because of traffic. AMZN and EBAY are $200+ because of anticipated traffic. Advertising is where the money will be made -- not selling Egyptian vacations to Donald Trump -- but selling ADS to Donald Trump -- and ADS to Wal-Mart -- and ADS to Bristol-Myers -- and ADS to Ferrari -- and ADS to Preparation-H. Rich ADS -- Common ADS -- Poor ADS. This site will draw numbers. That is what will speak on the Internet. Not anyone could do this. The ones running this company have the background and contacts to make it fly and do it right. Sure the flags are there. Sure they could be just wanting to make a quick few million selling cheap stock. But why? Why risk breaking some laws when you have a BILLIONS DOLLAR IDEA that you have the expertise to make it a go? With the background and people involved, I'm betting they know what they are doing. I'm betting the Internet is going to go (at least while the earth remains in its present state -- those who follow me will understand this). So, I'm betting that we've just seen the beginning of this stock. How many still yell that EBAY is worthless? Those millions of people who are not millionaires but still pick up THE ROBB REPORT each time they are in Wal-Mart are the reason this will be a $200 stock, IMO. The site will cater to the rich for toys, the masses for joys, and the corporate world for their advertising ploys. I don't know if you are saving the poor masses by bashing this stock, but remember that we are a long way from $200, and it's never too late to see the big picture. I sure hope you are wrong. My grandaddy tore up 4 Babe Ruth rookie cards in his spokes. I don't want an equally sad tale to tell my grandchildren. I want to start my story with the words, "I still feel real bad for that poor ol' soul named Coffee Pot". I remain, SOROS
