Perhaps ATS Should go Public with an IPO

What say most of you. I know one thing, If I want to know if anything important in this world is going down, a quick trip to ATS is all I need. It typically scoops any other news source there is.

That is important. It has gotten that good.
I would by stock in ATS in a heartbeat, if that were to happen.


As far as revenue generation , I am not too sure what kind of business model should be applied, but it would have to be as non-intrusive as possible to maintain the quality that makes this place what it really is.

Some simple side-bar advertising that does not interfere with the quality of the site would probably be ok.

Anyway, just throwing this out there to see how others feel. The owners of this place should be very proud of how it has progressed , especially in the last few years.

How long would it take for a CIA front company buy up a majority stake ?

Self editing my manors and decorum.

The owners of this site are already turning a small profit from the ATS network.

What would your idea accomplish if there is already a sustainable business model in place?

Also, think before you post.

Google isn't about to let their flagship mass-communication site
get spun-off as a stand-alone entity

besides only Google provides revenue, and i would surmise a ATS subscription venture would fall on its face within weeks

"How dare thee OTP mah post?
You know how many shares I haz?"

And so on and so forth ...

going public would provide the company with cash to broaden its reach.

Google is one source of revenue. Not the only source. Not even the largest source.

I must have missed the suggestion for a subscription type site.
