1. can anyone post of list of stocks recommended by the underwriters that have lived up to their earnings estimates? That would include National Securities recommended list over the past year. reason for my asking is that the fact is that estimates for stocks including such POS as the flavors of Commodore Environmental have consistently failed to deliver on projections. 2. Can somebody explain the relationship between the underwriter, Dirks & C0. & Security Capital Trading? This ought to brought out into the open. 3. One of the syndicate managers is Kashner Davidson - it's in the prospectus. A famous SI'r is Davidson - who is famous for pumping ccsi. Skippard. Although no longer with Kashner Davidson, I find it hard to believe that the firm that bears his name is run like Goldman, Sachs. 4. The poor financial condition of Digital Lava prior to the IPO is not enough of a reason for a larger brokerage firm to do the IPO. Can someone play detective and find out what it was that must have scared other firms away? 5. Business Week - Everybody and their cousin had the fact that the company would be written up in the magazine. It was told all over Yahoo in addition to SI. 99% of the people who invest in these kinds of stocks either subscribe to SI or read the Yahoo threads of the stocks they invest in. So, prior to the magazine being for sale at a cigar store on the corner of Main and 59th, anyone who was likely to buy the stock already knows about the Business Week column.

Knowing Ray he probably would take your call, but I can tell you candidly that the #s in his report are about the same as the company was using on their road show and at due diligence meetings. IMO repeat IMO the #s are based on a razor and razor blade scenerio and on the growth of streaming video for education and training particularly in the corporate suite. Training seminars cost industy billions each yr. DGV offers a better solution than sending employees to a classroom with an instructor. With inter/intranets employees can learn at their own pace and at their convienience. Ask yourself why so many of their customers are educational facilities..SUNY, Stamford etc
