Hey Brandon,

I have been daytrading since early 1997 and ONE CAN SHORT these IPOs, even before 30 days have past.

1. Set up DVP accounts
2. Set up foreign accounts

+ Market Makers take "naked" short positions throughout every trading day.

I saw over 100,000 shares going by at the offer (blocks of 7,500) between $48 and $45 just before the close.

No one who is trying to cover his/her long postion does so at the offer five minutes before the close (unless they open a short positon) especially in those large lots.

So, believe me or not, Brandon, if we see a "gap up" at the open on monday, the shorts will be hard pressed to cover under $60.

IMHO

Rico

p.s. again, the small float (2.3M shares) is the key to GEEKs success!
