Review: Why didn't you consider SAIC in this article? In somewhat the same space as Stanley; however much larger.

Review: Your articles are well in place. Ethanol is the way to go. How can I get more information on ethanol production--the cost to produce, store, and transport?

Review: These IPOs may seem hot at first but are considered to be volatile stocks, with high betas. Investors with short term insights should beware. Another important characteristic is the concentration and low liquidity whcih also means a future discount. On the other hand the inflow of proceeds is crucial, large primary tranches should be preferred to secondary offerings.

Review: Any disruptive technology company like Vonage or Godaddy will have rivals that are owned by these major institutional holders: Axa, Fidelity, Vangaurd, Wellington, Barclay's, and State Street. This tag team uses every asset it can, including media mouthpieces to lambast a company and to short the IPO upon open. Right now Vonage (VG) has been on the NYSE short list since June 5, 2006, because the NYSE market maker has sold more stock than exisits. Shorting and naked shorting by Goldman Sachs (largely owned by the same tag team) did a lot the shorting. But, they weren't the only ones. So, when Godaddy launches their IPO, their biggest rivals (Verisign, Yahoo), which are owned by the same tag team, will do the same thing that they did to Vonage. What needs to happen, rather than just throwing up ones hands and saying "Gee this looks like 1999", is to "look under the hood" of who owns the rivals to the disruptive techology company going public.
