Motley Fool this evening: This Feature Format for Printing We Deliver! Evening News Archives 4\19 Lunchtime News 4\16 Evening News Related Items News Main Page Breakfast News Lunchtime News Evening News Fool On The Hill Conference Calls HEROES In keeping with the trend of Internet companies being able to stir investor fervor based just as much on the promise of services to become available eventually as services available today, bank holding company USABancShares (Nasdaq: USAB) raced ahead $3 3/8, or 31%, to $14 1/4 today after launching its USABanc.com online banking service. The site itself is pretty much a tease, even featuring a movie-theater style animation mimicking the famous "coming soon" green screen. For now, users can check stock quotes and buy CDs online; full brokerage services are scheduled for a third-quarter release. Given the strength of that news, that USABancShares was able to withstand the forces pulling down its competitors today is a little baffling, as Florida Banks (Nasdaq: FLBK) lost $3 1/8 to $10 1/4, Net.B@nk (Nasdaq: NTBK) retreated $34 13/16 to $139 7/8 and Atlantic Bank (Nasdaq: ATLB) returned $1 3/4 to $19 1/4. Even Equitex (Nasdaq: EQTX), which said Net1Bank -- the Internet bank it announced plans to buy a week ago -- expects to be profitable this month, a quarter ahead of forecasts, gave up $2 3/4 to $15 1/4.
