Shoot, sorry David I Think I'm following too many stocks. Cybersource is the sister of Beyond.com not Buycom. Anyway, IPO for these guys must also be in the air this year and they'll certainly be worth a play.IMHO

Buy.com's Blum May Be Forced to Leave Before IPO, Paper Says Bloomberg News May 3, 1999, 11:40 a.m. PT Aliso Viejo, California, May 3 (Bloomberg) -- Buy.com Inc. Chairman Scott Blum may be forced to leave as the Internet retailer prepares to go public, the San Jose Mercury News reported. Merrill Lynch & Co., the investment bank leading the public offering, has told Blum it will underwrite the sale only if he departs, and will assume no fiduciary responsibility once shares begin trading, according to a person ''in the Internet financial community,'' the paper said. The Mercury News reported two weeks ago, citing unidentified sources, that Buy.com had been turned down by several other investment banks for the IPO because of Blum's previous association with Pinnacle Micro Inc., which had been charged by the Securities and Exchange Commission with misrepresenting its revenue, a charge he and Pinnacle later settled with the SEC. Jennifer Blanchfield, a spokeswoman for Buy.com in Aliso Viejo, California, did not return calls and a spokeswoman for Merrill Lynch couldn't be reached, the paper reported.
