Glenn, If I walked into your store and looked at one of your beautiful diamonds , and told you that I'd like to buy it, but only at your cost? Is that legal? Now, if you replied to me. Sure!! But it comes with a set of 5. If you pay the retail on the other 4 then I'll sell you the one you REALLY want @ my cost. Is that legal? James, The above about buying from me would be legal. However, the stock shares are sold to benefit the company that is raising capital for their expansion. The underwriter obtains commission of 7% typically for handling the IPO. The shares are not really owned by the underwriter are they? It seems to me this violates some law but I can't tell you which<G> love dogs, except I gave away my Cmdx 10 days ago.:-(((( I gve my VERT away and then someone talked about it and it ran without me.
