TD, mentioned before, is going ipo with their Waterhouse brokerage today. Waterhouse Boosts IPO Size To $1 Bln TD Waterhouse Group Inc., a discount brokerage, Tuesday increased the size for its stock offering by 31 percent to $1 billion, indicating that investor demand for online brokerage shares is still high, according to people close to the deal. TD Waterhouse, a unit of Canada's Toronto-Dominion Bank (NYSE:TD - news), is selling 42 million shares at $24 apiece. The offering of a 11.2 percent stake in the firm values TD Waterhouse at $9 billion. The New York-based company earlier this month said it would sell 32 million shares, or a 8.7 percent stake in the firm, for $20 to $24 apiece.

Yes, Dave. The challenge was strategically designed to provoke egos on and off SI. I really thought that I would get about a half dozen takers. . .and the "face off" would result in additional "market share" . . . so in essence it was a sort of marketing program. . .It certainly was not aimed at regulars on the thread. . . but rather at the "guru" readers. . .some of which PM me to pick my brain. However, the plan soaked everyone. Not many in their right minds would take it, unless their record is incredible. So in an odd sort of way, by getting no takers. . . it says even more about the record, due to the number of newsletters, pay websites, gurus, leaders, etc. that had their chance to prove their worth, but selected not to challenge. It was worth a try. . .sorry if it rubbed you the wrong way. Rande Is
