Hmmmmm....Does anybody really know what the hell is going on? I cashed in my calls this morning for a nice profit...but the announcement and the ramifications of the merger are too confusing for my feeble mind. If anybody has some insight, please share. As I see it, there will be significant dilution. However, DBCC had revenues of some $108 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1999. From the release, "the combined business is expected to have pro forma revenues in 1999 of some $320 million." That's a huge increase. Plus, there are still synergies and cross marketing opportunities between all the entities that should accelerate revenue growth. Should...that is. Bottom line....I don't know. That's why I took profits. The Street voted thumbs down today, but that could change in a heartbeat. There are still the four potential IPOs, as well as earnings out imminently. I would expect more volatility in the future as things pan out. If anybody can clarify anything, please post. -Minos
