Hi Lucky,
I don't see them as an internet stock but a great idea
that NOBODY else in my city is doing!! GO PPOD!!


Right and another difference. Peapod Gets Paid For What they Do, on each and every order (Like EBAY and NSOL). Most Internet companies are giving away expensive services just to build traffic.

lucky--

me too. thats why i own the stock. however, its not a long term thing.

when wal mart started opening supercenters with grocery stores in them, everyone thought no one would buy groceries from wal mart. guess what? they do. if they sense a market, you better believe they will jump on it.

i dont know what the situation is where you live but we have 4 chains here in austin, all of whom have the ability to set up something like PPOD.

good luck to all,
trey

To all,
Here's a some PPOP Predictions from another board:

Agree with your info. . .a 1/8th pullback is certainly not a selling spree. Found the link regarding 1/27/99
earnings release date stockselector.com
This link indicates 12/2000 earnings of -.515
12/2001 earnings of +.257
12/2002 earnings of +1.416

I would imagine that these figures are based upon old business model. Perhaps, the current uptrend is a result
of the upcoming earnings release and modification of projected earnings - a much smaller loss in 1999 and
positive earnings in year 2000. Also, have a feeling they may be opening more warehouses than originally
indicated. Check out this article - tell me what you think.
amcity.com

Where do you see the price moving next week - end of month? My guess is another 25% increase to just
under 11. By Tuesday or Wed., we could see a close at 9 1/4 or better and then by week's end, a surge
towards 11. By the end of month, I could see the stock reaching a new 52 week high, of course, with some
profit taking throughout. The uptrend could also be the result of a slow perception change - Online Grocery
E-Commerce is slowly being recognized as its own sub-sector, and Peapod, its leader (infrastructure
development and technology) as opposed to just another dot.com.

Linda,

If I recall correctly, Beyerly's tried a delivery service a year or so ago at a couple of their stores. It didn't do very well and has been canceled. I don't recall if it was over the web or over the phone. I don't have the time right now to try and dig anything up, but you might take a look if interested.
