Goldfinger, I have read most of all the posting on Yahoo and on SI about IFLY. I am just your average investor that trades as a hobby. It passes the time and sometime I make money and sometime I loss. I fact, I only made a little over $10,000 investing in 1998. I have a government investment plan and several index funds. The other money is "play money" so to speak. I invested in IFLY in April 1998. Bought in at 8 15/16, sold at 6, the shorts won, I lost. That is how the game is played. But I have also made money in stock like DELL, WLA and lost money in DIS. I then researched IFLY, I like the company and what they sell, so I bought back in. I will invest in a company if I, a common individual, will purchase what they sell. I would and will be in the future using 800Travel to purchase airline tickets. I will also check on the other travel companies for a lower tickets, if they are cheaper I will purchase the ticket from them, but I have a habit in staying with my first company. That is why I purchase from Amazon Book instead of Barnes & Nobles, even if they are lower. So, you may ask yourself what does that have to do with you. Well, I have read all your posting. I believe your postings are to talk individuals like myself out of investing with this company. You talk about the company being investigated for criminal activity, I believe a member of a federal task force told you about that (by the way, if any Special Agent did tell you that, he or she has committed a felony). But as a small investor I just want you to know I like this company, do not care about the background of its corporate officers (just as much I do not research the officers of DELL or DIS) and I'm looking forward to next week. By the way, I also have received a 100% return on my investment in IFLY as of Thursday. italiana
