With the hope that this board does not become like the Yahoo board, I am responding: With all due respect, your comments about Paul Allen and WCOM makes me think you really have no clue about their intent. They are not daytraders like you looking for a few points. They won't sell tomorrow if it pops to 100. (Now don't get out the Pepto, Mr. Short.) Even if their shares were fully traded, they put $600 million in this as part of a larger business plan. They are not selling. This is a business to them. Key here is less and less stock will be available. I'm not saying today or tomorrow but I wouldn't be surprised to see Monday as a day where those three points will be back in the plus side. What I am saying is outside of the many many shorts (which I love and cherish as they all will have to cover when the margin crunch or the shares are put into cash accounts), the posts I love the most are those satisfied users. I don't think I've read a negative post from a user. Having bought AOL when it was being trashed, it was real tough staying long with users telling how terrible aol was. This one is a lot easier to hold. As it rolls out in each city, these users will become long term shareholders. Net result Bottom line FOR THE STOCK. SHRINKING VERY LIMITED SUPPLY + GREATLY INCREASING DEMAND = POTENTIAL FOR MANY HUGE RUNUPS OF PRICE OF THE STOCK. This is not a stock I'd even dream of shorting.
