The valuation on NETP is much harder to make, because it is so dependant on the internut craze. However, as far as I can see, it should do well over time. Hopefully, a short time. I agree with you on NETP, Victor...I am counting on the "InterNUT Craze" to send this one skyward. But they do have quality venture capital investors, quality underwriters (Bank Boston Robbie Stephens seems to be one of the best InterNUT underwriters and they do a great job of supporting/hyping their stocks in the aftermarket), quality customers (lots of big-name Internet retailers), quality management, and a quality product which (if it works) addresses a market with HUGE potential....things like these are the things which lead to HUGE aftermarket performance...I can't give you a valuation analysis on the stock, and even if I could I probably couldn't type it with a straight face. Oh, and last but not least, the small float scenerio....Assuming I owned 3000 shares of NETP (I may have more or less), if only 1000 more people in the entire world owned the same amount I did, that would come close to exhausting the entire float of this stock....A STRONG BUY rec, a couple press releases...day-traders jump on it...most shorters (even professional A@P) don't dare touch recent new issues....it's simple supply-and-demand....there's no wonder these things can run up 10-a-day or more for many days... Of course, they can drop just as quickly !!!! I hope NETP follows the trend and EXPLODES to $50+, but yes, I am basing some of it on "hope"... Jimbo.
