What am I missing?
You are asking why people bother to get in Engage IPO while owning the parent company CMGI. Well, Mark, remember the last time you went to Las Vegas? Excitement, excitement. Gambling is not to make me rich, but I do it for the entertainment value. If I win, it a just icing on the cake. Just imagine you make the point on a crap game: everyone at the table will yell and scream (except the don't pass player). Although not quite like LV, there is an excitement with Engage IPO. Under affinity program, you are treated like a VIP: you get priority over the regbular account holds of Wit Capital. If your main portfolio is CMGI and you just spend $ 2K on Engage IPO and it doubles, the excitement counts more than the money (just watch this thread, there will be many posts); it does not make you rich, but the joy of it. Try it, you might like it, and you are not adverse in trying your luck, let's meet in LV some time. Paris is opening Sept 2. Bon Jour Monsieur!!
Best regards,
Paul
