Re: Are they well

Some people look at the stock price when looking into the health of a company. The Voip stocks haven't been seeing the respect they deserve because they are still new, and people are scared. Vonage has a good model that will become profitable. Once the Fear that has driven down the stock price subsides.
Unfortunately for Vonage, the stock price is not the only indicator of a company in trouble. The monthly churn rate is a big one. And so is the fact that they keep losing money hand over fist. Take a look at their overall financials and you will see a company hanging on by their fingernails.

Income statement:
Annual »finance.yahoo.com/q/is?s=VG&annual
Quarterly »finance.yahoo.com/q/is?s=VG

And especially cash flow from operations, which has always been negative: »finance.yahoo.com/q/cf?s=VG&annual
And that is a REAL killer. It is one thing to have negative cash flow after you lay out for capital costs. Many startups have that problem. But to have negative cash flow for 4 years from operations says this company is in trouble.

 Yep - Vonage, along with a lot of other VoiP's are in serious trouble unless they stop losing customers and increase the price without losing more customers. They are offering a service priced below their cost to provide it - not a sound business plan in the end.
