OK, now since this was so obvious, as you say, and I agree, I have a simple question: did you buy any RHAT today? There were several chances - as is the case with IPOs, of course it rocketed right out of the gate - but it was relatively easy to buy it below what it closed at today. Of course you could have traded, and I did that too. ... Did you do the "obvious" thing, and buy RHAT today? At what price? Etrade stiffed me on the IPO and I was unable to access the market from just slightly after RHAT opened until about 3:30 PM ET due to taking my four-month-old daughter in for her shots. So no, I have no RHAT shares at this time. Followup question: Where will RHAT be tomorrow, or Friday? According to you, it takes no insight, so I assume that you bought a boatful (I'm guessing that you are in the market to make money). My comment was dealing solely with the insight required to predict the explosiveness of this IPO. It was triggered by your bragging about having called the obvious. I prefer to post my puny "non-insights" ahead of time, rather than lecture anyone in hindsight about the obviousness of their "insight", but it is a free country, and people can post whatever they like. If you care to search through my posts, in amongst my incessant bitching about ETrade you will find that I have been saying E*Trade will be hot ever since they filed. Like, for one: #reply-10738042. I was too bullish in that message. I figured it more like PCLN, but that was before this bad market was really felt. Maybe it would have acted that way.
