In same way, foreign investors want to buy stock in American companies. It's reason that it's easier to list an American OTCBB company in Europe than a domestic company. It's easier to attract investors to an American stock than to a domestic stock. The ethical issue is same for U. S. Government and public company. Should foreign small capital investors have right to redeem their American shares? I believe answer should be yes. My viewpoint isn't shared by over 80% of OTCBB companies.

Stock is money. At some point, shareholders must convert their shares to dollars. If you wisely invested shareholders' money balance sheet worth of your company will be greater. If you maintain a sound IR program, your share price will be stronger. If you seek to sell your company to an industry giant, in a friendly acquisition at market capitalization, your shareholders will gain greatest benefit from their investment. You will make more money.

Your approach is simple. Investors buy your stock today and fund your company, into future. In time, your shareholders sell their stock in your company and convert their profits into dollars. If you implement this policy, you'll avoid problems with regulators. Your company will prosper. You'll grow rich.

Large businesses on Net are designed to be unprofitable. If principals in a startup Net business must earn US$100,000 to US$400,000 a year, that money must come from investors. Everyone from CEO to janitor must have large blocs of stock in a Net company. When that company goes public, employee stock usually destroys share price. Who takes loss? Investors.

The investors expect a greater fool to absorb insider selling and take share price higher. In a few instances this happens. In most cases, IPO buyers have proven to be greater fool. The mistake has been repeated so often that many investors are wary of Dot Com stocks.

The problem isn't glut of Dot Com IPOs entering Market. Dot Com has become terminal because of permanent non-profitability and insider selling. The evolution of Net won't rescue these failing Dot Com companies.

Few Dot Com technology companies can keep on forefront of technology for very long. They will have a brief period of excellent revenues and then they will fade. Dot Com distributors, particularly niche distributors, can survive and prosper. The secret is to make more money than you spend.

Here are my five rules for making more money than you spend with a Dot Com Distribution Company. 1. Keep your overhead down. This means modest salaries. It means few perks. The company must have a strong controller. 2. If you must give away blocs of stock, require that they be pooled and vaulted along with your insider stock. 3. Incorporate in a tax haven. Operate from a country that doesn't tax foreign-source income. If you are a Canadian citizen, you operate tax free. If you are an American and keep your salary below US$70,000, you operate tax free. 4. Contract reliable overnight shipping services in States, Canada and Western Europe. Keep regional inventories adequate to meet expected demand. 5. Target your buyers on Net. In San Francisco Bay Area, I assume all Dot Com companies advertising on radio are doing it to create demand for their IPOs. It can't be to sell their product.

I think Dot Com IPOs are dying. Dot Com technology companies will find it harder to attract IPO investors. Well-run Dot Com distribution companies will survive and prosper. However, Net investment interest is going into a period of major decline. The Lemmings are looking for a new cliff.
