Hi stratolink,
It's nice to hear a bull chip in and remind me of that side of the picture; but as you know, I don't buy it (nor the stock)! ;-) I think there's a very solid ceiling to where this stock will go until the Fall when it's a whole new ball game, and at which time I might be long. $26 is that solid, solid ceiling, IMO.
<<If the stock does not drop down too much following the last of the three underwriter buy recommendations, it shows good support.>>
Hey, you forgot this! (squib from Marketwatch):
<<Egghead.com (EGGS) shares rose 1 15/16 to 20 1/4. Prudential Securities began covering the online computer products retailer with a "strong buy" rating.>>
So it's four from the SPO.
Oh, by the way, in Herb Greenberg's column yesterday he re-iterated his little thumb rule, which I think rings true. The comment was made with reference to Delia's intended spinoff of iTurf:
<<Forget that it [i.e. the IPO] has five underwriters. (Any more than three can be a warning that the company is pulling out all stops to get the stock sold and secure positive analyst coverage.)>>
Cory Jonson's article posted here the other day told us what we already knew- the coverage was bought. BTW, I'm not necessarily faulting EGGS for doing this- there were pro/con sides here- they needed coverage, no doubt. It's too bad that the shares got priced where they did instead of several points higher.
