William -- Aside from the issue of quality of the offerings (you are comparing CISCO to selling flowers on-line?) -- what matters to markets is liquidity, and it will not be there for IPOs much longer. As I am sure you know, the market for IPOs dries up from time to time while at others there is a flood of available money. Those seeking money jump in and take advantage of strong liquidity conditions. At the end of these cycles everybody is jumping into the liquidity pool at the same time - as I have said before, they should look into the pool before they dive in -- cause there is not much water left in the pool -- soon it will be empty.

> They said that when Oracle, Cisco, and Microsoft came public too. William, if you use one more time an example of profitable companies coming public to justify the largest fraud parade of worthless, unprofitable scam stocks the world has ever seen, I'll have to assume you're either blind, or involved in the underwriting process. You really can't see that this is coming to and end, can you? You made so much money previously (well, 50% less now..) that you are unable to modify your thought patterns to gel with the FACT that these overpriced jokes are going down for the count. Like a previous poster said, your only hope is that you put a percentage of your winnings under managed care. Of course, you told us yesterday that the top 5 holdings of that "care" were internut stocks, so I guess you won't even have that nest egg to fall back on.
