Karen Kreps here. I've already introduced myself under the topic of "website design properties." As the content manager on this team, I'll be the person responsible for making sure information is put in its proper place and that users can find it intuitively ;-). But since this is the "introductions" topic, let me here invite you to my homepage, http://www.bga.com/~kkreps. It will fill you in on my extensive background as an editor, writer and producer of interactive consumer products. You can write to me at kkreps@bga.com.

I'm an investor,general speculation, and I have a question.. What is the difference in dpo and ipo.I've had no luck with ipo(inital public offerings) because ipo's are snapped up by the biggies, and houses.I would like to see Baird(my house) go on line so I can use my account more readly.Will dpo's have a commision based buy/sell, will bonds/mutual's be included,and what if any research data will be available.Hmmm...

Hi, I'm the person that Americ introduced, his new research associate, a person of many interests, and this topic intrigues me. As a single mom trying to grow my son's small college trust, I'm mostly conservative, and I understand that IPOs can be risky, but...a couple of years ago I wanted to buy Netscape when it went public. That was NO risk. I was told by the broker I was using that it was impossible. What a red flag for me, a Taurus. I phoned the SEC. They told me who the brokers were who handled the deal, but you couldn't buy from them -- not a hundred, or even a thousand shares. I called the local paper, the guy who writes about investments, and all he would do was warn me about the risk. I felt that this so-called democratic invention, the stock market, should be more open, but I found out it wasn't. Disturbing...So what is this you are talking about?

I'm afraid we may have to raise Clay from the dead.

Actually I see Clay's site is still running.
