Sam - Great Post! This is a very interesting comment. Finding out who the venture partners is important. IMO the BGP web site is better then BKS and AMZN. Maybe BGP will spin in off or it could be a takeover target of MSFT.

For example, he contended Borders (BGP) has received venture capital to beef up its Web site." cbs.marketwatch.com Our timing appears to be on the money. Good fortune. investoralley.com
