Well aware of that page... Thanks! But there are actual rules about the
filings/reservations and all as well.

Have you actually done a reservation? If so, did you read those rules?

Honestly, I don't care... Just curious. :)

Yup, it's amazing what you can do on the web these days Scott! It's called a
symbol reservation. It doesn't mean you have to file, it just means that you
have to re-reserve it after six months. Here's a website to you help you
understand:

Reserved CCIE, huh? Cool... But really now? So you're planning to go
public within 6 months?

I hadn't come across any SEC filings about it, but perhaps there's a
fasttrack now. :)

We've thought about it before. The market just isn't supporting a lot of
IPOs. If the market turns around, it's something that we would definitely
consider. If a public company wanted to purchase us with their stock, that's
another way to go public - but once again, not the best market for it.
Hopefully in a few years it will get better and then we'll do something.
We've already reserved the stock symbol: CCIE, so we'll see what happens.
:-)

Roman/Brad, when is ieMentor or CCB going public?

Are we going to see some of our training vendors go public sometime soon?
For their love of the CCIE community :-)

I think it's pretty cheap and it's going to go up so I bought 'a couple'
shares.
