hoffy, be very careful with EDUV. Looked great for a while, but a few clues that soured me during DD and I bailed: 1. download freeenglish and try it out. Spend an hour. 2. read very carefully the press release announcing the new marketing company (Trisynergy) last week. Check out that company's web site and assess for yourself how good they are at marketing. Note that neither the press release nor the web site actually says they have any clients, although the wording of the release implies they're the greatest thing since sliced bread. Ask yourself why the company would hire such a sad crew, and why they would promote it. Note the names listed in the press release vs. those on the web site. Ask yourself whether the descriptions of the experience of the Trisynergy people could apply as easily to a retail sales clerk or door-to-door office products salesperson as to a top-notch marketing/sales executive. 3. note that eduversity has the same product offering as SEVL and AOL. Might be okay based on the arrangements if EDUV has great products, but see point 1 above. Might be good for trading (I actually made about 25% last week before I got out, then it dropped like a rock) but I'm not sure I'd want want to be around the day they go reporting. Of course, I have been wrong before....would be interested to know if your DD turns up something more meaningfully real than what I found dr
