Started buying mine back 20 3/4. I feel sorry for the people I sold it to at 25 and 26. Sell away, folks, I'm here for you.

I'm also a subscriber, but I found last Sunday's NY Times front page story even harder to swallow than the 40+% price increase. The story stated that legendary investor Barbra Streisand called up and asked for an allocation of IPO shares in return for dinner with the CEO, Kevin English. She got her shares, but has subsequently reneged on the dinner: "High-school friends and long-lost lovers call for a piece of the action -- inspiring creative efforts to exploit a connection, or even one's celebrity. Barbra Streisand has on at least two occasions called companies out of the blue to ask for allotments of friends and family shares, in one instance offering to exchange them for a dinner with the company's chief executive. Ms. Streisand got a modest number of shares, but never came to dinner, according to the executive, Kevin English, the chief executive of TheStreet.com, an online financial news organization that went public in June. " For the record, I contacted the company to get their side, and their official position is that they refuse to comment on the story.
