[613 UPDATE 1][11-04-99 11:00 PM ET][Y2K Predator's Ball] >>esecurities...Either there is a buyout or the >>other mentioned IPO's are about to happen. >>Any comments? Sorry for the delay 613... Hirschfield and Tessler, Co-CEOs recently renegotiated their employment contracts with DBCC as we recently cited and pursuant to DBCCs recently filed amended 10-K/A which further indicated that said recently entered into agreements would be incorporated as part of DBCCs pending Q1 2000 SEC Form 10-Q...it does not seem logical DBCC would voluntarily put themselves 'in play' [now] given two (2) probable pending IPOs...IFN ifn.com and eSignal.com esignal.com ...said IPOs should theoretically establish substantive shareholder value to DBCC...and given the recent $7-$9 price range of DBCC that share price arguably barely captures DBCCs 4.5M share (~34%) interest in cbs.marketwatch.com (MKTW) alone...in other words...DBCC has a ways to go to become fully valued pursuant to said IPOs, interest in MKTW...not to mention BondEdge, InSite, CMS, dbc.com dbc.com ...so, even if DBCC is not 'in play' given their present upwards price momentum viz a viz IBDs ACC/DIS 'A' Rating, and clearstation.com et al... any contemporaneous/short-term announcement regarding an IFN IPO followed by an announcement of an eSignal.com IPO could go a long ways to further maximizing DBCC shareholder value...conversely, the fact that DBCC is arguably substantively? undervalued and given that it [dominates market share] in simply one of the hottest sectors [online trading, ECNs, after-hours trading...] within one of the hottest sectors in the history of the world...the Internet...DBCC simply is at [substantial?] risk of a [friendly/hostile] takeover by very obvious players e.g. CitiGroup (friendly viz a viz IFN.com partner); Sanwa (friendly viz a viz CMS); Schwab (?); AOL (friendly viz a viz existing MKTW alliance?); Intuit (?); Yahoo! (?); Reuters (friendly? viz a viz existing eSignal/MetaStock alliance); Microsoft (?); ETrade (friendly viz a viz BigCharts (MKTW) alliance, Japan); Wit Capital (friendly given Robert Lessin, founder, is on MKTWs Board of Directors along with Hirschfield & Tessler); [BUT] then there is CBS/Viacom and why would they [POSSIBLY] allow THAT to occur?...... back to Hirschfield, Tessler and DBCCs entrenched Board of Directors for a moment...they're all old (.) and may find it optimally propititious and desire to simply all go out with a Y2K big bang...hence Hirschfield & Tessler [optimally] may be strategizing a combination of a pending IPO with a short-term takeout using said pending IPOs as shareholder value booster rockets while contemporaneously engaging the likes of Goldman Sachs, et al behind the scenes to seek both friendly and hostile suitors to take out DBCC and then optimally put that faction into a bidding war with Viacom/CBS/MarketWatch...again, the overwhelming issue of fact here is...DBCC is arguably substantively? undervalued and given that it [dominates market share] in simply one of the hottest sectors [online trading, ECNs, after-hours trading...] within one of the hottest sectors in the history of the world...the Internet...DBCC simply represents potentially the most brilliant [and timely] crown-jewel acquisition within the financial services sector(.)[2.] and Hirschfield and Tessler could simply go out the biggest swinging di..s [1.] ...aka Den of Thieves...aka Barbarians at the Gate at the Y2K Predator's Ball...
