Ahhhhh Joanie...As usual, right on the mark! LOL!

SI is the best, and when it was down this AM, probably most of us felt lonesome, truth be known.... Wouldn't you just know it would be today, of all days... A thought....if any of us are thinking this will zoom up quickly, I'm surely no expert, but I can't imagine that it would.... I personally think this one will be better than any of us dream, but not one for 'playing around with'....There are more IPO's that are coming that have fewer shares (by a lot), and that might or might not-- go up, and/or go down-- However, on the other hand, wouldn't it be nice if it were an ICGE or QCOM??? They are Amazing!

Thanks for the ST post, Roger....
And Joan, I'm still laughing about the "Sobersides Thought Police".!!!

Joana, YING & YANG has ALWAYS worked for me ;)

#51 & #15 is ying/yang if I ever saw it. Are we starting to have any fun yet? "U becha" alright! And we've barely started! Up 19.73% today (according to my favorite comedy channel, CNBC) on a "slow" day (IPO-wise)! But, as I keep saying to all who'll listen, WE AIN'T SEEN NUTTIN YET!

And yeah, I'm now a "FortyNiner(GNET)/Niner(CHTR)." Looks like a "gold rush is a-commin" to me! I woke up VERY early this am (with all the juices flowing). Couldn't get onto SI, so said to myself, "What the heck, might as well pick up a few shares of that Charter company that some guy named Allen is willing to sell to me." Got it "on the street" for 20 1/4, and felt pretty darn lucky about that. And, as it's in one of my retirement accounts, I can play it "like a fine instrument" from day one, if I feel like it. I now own yet ANOTHER little-bitty piece of his "wired world."

Today was my "virgin" IPO experience. It was not bad at all, but I know it will get much better with time.

Didn't have a chance to get in on GNET's IPO of $2/share (post splits), and missed MSFT's IPO by a few days (also opened at about 20/share about 13 years ago).

Perhaps someday we'll all be able to tell our great-great grandchildren (who will most likely inherit most it all anyway) that we bought CHTR on the IPO day in the low 20's (pre-zillions & zillions of splits),
with "a little help from our friends" on Silicon Investor. And heck, when they inherit our CHTR and GNET stocks, most likely Paul (I used to live just down the street from him) will still be working on his "wired/wireless" world. . .as he's such a young chap.

PS. I still don't know how you do it. You're everywhere!
PPS. Say Hi to your Techride pals for me. I "lurk" over there every once in a while, but really don't have ANY more time to join another "thread (tread, terad)" at the moment.
