beautiful Glenn, just beautiful. You can't agrue his logic so you shoot at him. Even if he is an employee of LOAX he is stating facts. Why do you think this company spiked to 35-37 from 10? Do you consider all who are buying uninformed or stupid.? How would you rate EBAY or The Globe when they went public.
As for Dirks being a 16th tier company I suggest you do some homework on the man ( Ray Dirks) not the company.
And as for reporters... most are incompotant and should not be permitted to write about financial matters without first disclosing their background to do so.

LOAX closes @ 31, down 5.3% ; since it will soon be shortable in the U.S. its a good time for IPOers to sell off those 100 share lots and collect their profits before they disappear (or cut your losses if you bought high).

From todays News Release:

PROVIDENCE, R.I.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 28, 1999--Log On America,
Inc. (NASDAQ:LOAX - news) announced today that Dirks & Company, Inc., the
representative of the underwriter's of the Company's recent initial public offering, exercised its over-allotment option to
purchase an additional 330,000 shares of common stock. Gross proceeds from the exercise of the over-allotment
option raised an additional $3.3 million, bringing the total amount raised to $25.3 million.
