>I sell them at the unbelievably low price of $ 49.99 Easier to buy from you...where do I mail the check. BTW, a while back I PM you on a stock that broke out today to new 52 wk. high. Don't want to hype on your thread, but it was "S & P Stock of the Week" recently.

Anthony, this has probably been asked before, but you are way too popular and I actually have to skip some messages on occasion, really! How do we tell the difference between a POS and something like an AMZN, or eBay, when it first comes on the market. Look at TUTS... Offered at $18 last Friday, opened low thirties, ran to over $60/share on the first day. Today it ran over $80/share. It's now in the same price bracket as ASND! Yes, TUTS has product and is in the new xDSL business. They have decent partners. But $83/share??? What should we focus on to distinguish a "startup" from a POS? P.S. Disclosure: I bought Friday at $61 and sold today at 78 3/4. Not bad for 2 days' work. P.PS. If one wanted to take advantage of a downdraft in a new issue like TUTS, how could we do so? Isn't it impossible to short new issues like this?
