Its Tuesday May 23, 2006, and we may get a little boost in the market after several days of it being punch drunk. Investors should see this as an opportunity to do some bottom fishing as the sell off is based on the fear of interest rate hikes but its a sell off across the board and there are companies that are at a deep discount right now. So this is where due diligence comes into play. The much anticipated Vonage IPO will be priced at some point tonight and they are doing something unique and offering their long time customers the opportunity to get a piece of the pie. They are offering the IPO to their most loyal customers and this pure play on Voip has come analyst on the fence. With AT&T (NYSE: T), Sprint Nextel (NYSE: S), CableVision (NYSE: CVC), TimeWarner (NYSE: TWX), Verizon (NYSE: VZ) and others setting up the triple play and moving towards the quadruple play, which includes television, Voip and Internet, some think that the competition will be stiff for Vonage. But in actuality this is a very important IPO as it will paint a good picture of the interest on the street for pure play Voip companies.
