Vonage: High risk, High reward?

Did you miss out on the IPO of Vonage?  Lucky you!  If you aren't familiar with the IPO, it opened up at over $17 a share and then quickly plummeted and has been hovering somewhere around $6.50 to $7.20.  As of the writing of this, it's sitting at $6.64.

The risk of buying Vonage(VG) is extremely high.  P/E is extremely low and there has been a few mentions of bankruptcy looming in their future. 

Investing is a game of risk and reward.  In this case, the risk with VG is very high.  The potential for reward could also be high, but until VG shows some signs of life, I don't believe that it's the right time.  As I mentioned earlier, the price/share has been hovering either just below $7 or just above it.   

Where to buy.  What do I see as the hot spot?  If things are done right, VG could begin turning a higher profit.  At that time, price/share should begin to rise.  At about $7.50, begin thinking about buying.  This is of course dependent on the current financials.

I used to be customer of vonage I even recieved there IPO offer lucky for me I decided against it.  I currently use Sunrocket great company great price. Vonage is bleeding customers bad from companies like comcast who are eating away there customer base and they no longer have the novelty effect going for them.  The best hope that vonage has is to be bought by a larger telcom company like ATT or Sprint for a jumpstarted customer base.  Because of regulation in the Telecom industry the prospects of voip being adopted by a major telco are pretty high since it is unregulated and would give those companies much less government oversight.  Verizon seems to be taking the lead with that.  Vonage is either going to be bought or go out of business.  This company is in the same boat as Tivo great idea that they couldn't keep other people from developing.  That said unlike vonage TIVO may actually come out of this transition period with a business model that includes royalties from companies like Directv.  I would greatly appreciate your opinion of this post
