Vonage [font=Arial] [/font] I've read all the postings about how and why you should be
[font=Arial] [/font] I've read all the postings about how and why you should be able to bail fom your committment to purchasing the pre-IPO shares you so dearly wanted. Why in the world would Vonage or any other viable business want to do this? You knew what the risks were going in. I signed up and had the same opportunity as you to buy pre-IPO. However, right before committing, I consulted my broker and several other individuals who are knowledgeable in the stock market. Everyone of them said this was a bad buy. I even read several negative reports on the IPO the week prior to the offering. So I took their advise and bailed. You guys didn't do the research and only saw the dollar signs of a quick sale in your eyes. If the stocked soared on opening and went to $30, and Vonage contacted you and said,"Hey valued customer, to keep Vonage going strong, we want to buy back all your stocks at $17." would you sell them to them at that price? Of course not. If Vonage is going to buy back all your shares, can I go back to all those failed dot.com companies I sunk several thousands of dollars into back in 2000-2001 and say, " Hey, I didn't expect your stock to tank like it did. I want my money back." It's the stock market, you invest, you take the risk. Was the stock overpriced? Appears so. How many other IPO companies have overpriced their stocks and it's tanked? Thousands. Look up Palm and Beyond.com to name a couple. You sound like the Dukes in that movie Trading Places - "This is an outrage!! This isn't right!! Turn the machines back on!!!!" Take your losses and move on. Or do as what another wise investor has stated here. Buy the same amount of Vonage you did on the IPO while the stock is down in the sub $12. If it moves back up into the $15 - $16 range, you've broke even. If it doesn't, then it's moot point. Vonage will either fold or get bought out. Then you'll have to go pay the $25 - $40 per month the other Voip comapnies wnat for their service.
