Well, analysts at Prudential, H&Q, Robertson Stephens and 6 others don't think so. Nor does Forbes. All said, the stock will only move up in the coming week(s). Their quarterly results are not questioned.

Sounds like comments made of AOL 3-5 years ago! Yes lack of competition or low competition can help foster lax service (ala etrade) and massive demand can tax infastructure. But first mover status and wide market penetration are what make the future potential of this company intriguing. Any competitor must pay NSOL a fee that is AWESOME in and of it self! imagine if Burger King had to pay McDonalds to sell hamburgers? This is a whole new business opportunity. In addition the growth of the internet is not going to slow down. The number of web registrants will double, quadruple etc etc as the number of net users passes the 50% penetration level. And just as we have a WCOM that is successful and a AT&T that is successful etc. we can have a NSOL and a Joe's and a Sally's internet registrar services too. And guess what...Along with competition comes better service, more services, more volume and more PROCEEDS. It's a good business. Management may be lacking in areas but we've seen that before. The service, the need for the service and the fact that they are making Huge dollars providing it TODAY, this month, NOW will bode well for the stock and the investors strong enough to hold it. Can't wait to see earnings IMHO we will all be nicely surprised. Good luck with such a volatile stock I think one can make money short or long and I certainly respect your viewpoint. DG
