BRCD only has about 3.85 million in the float right now, the other 23 million is owned by early investors and insiders. The ownership make-up is almost all institutional I would think so the lack of chat room activity is not to surprising.

I think BRCD will do just fine sans YAHOO, Raging Bull and other rooms that seem to be permeated mostly with novice investors with self-serving agendas!<g> My understanding with ANCR is that the stock is still under heavy accumulation by some institutions. This information was shared by a brokerage contact this afternoon who is usually accurate. P.S. I noticed that we really got bashed today. Traders must have zeroed in on some stop-loss orders!<g>

"I notice that BRCD has no thread on Yahoo and very few posts on its Silicon Investor thread" I think there are several possibilities: 1. The average investor got left out of the IPO. 2. The SI BRCD thread was probably not started for those interested in investing in Brocade, but for the purpose of spreading uncertainty about Ancor. The evidence for this is the sheer number of posts that were pulled off the thread - most of which were about Ancor rather than Brocade. I wish they would have left the number of pulled posts on the thread. From this thread many of us looked for investment info from Brocade very early in the game and never received further information. Some of the pulled posts contained technical information, but my recollection is that much of the time was devoted to talking about personalities involved with respective companies and unsubstantiated rumors about Ancor. 3. Ancor detractors and shorts trying to intimidate people have a much richer venue than the SI BRCD thread. 4. The actual owners of the stock with large positions are unlikely to engage in SI repartee.
