Speaking of Fridays and IPOs, that seems to be the day of the week to see the biggest first-day price pops. It has happened on the past five Fridays in a row. On Oct. 22, Sycamore Networks soared 386%. On Oct. 29, Akamai Technologies leapt 458%. On Nov. 5, Cobalt Networks jumped 482%. On Nov. 12, Finisar continued the run with a 357% increase. And last week, on Nov. 19, CacheFlow rose 427% on its debut day. Those deals rank No. 7, No. 5, No. 3, No. 9, and No. 6, respectively, among the biggest first-day skyrockets, says Thomson Financial Securities Data. --from todays WSJ **Where have you spent your Fridays Herschel??<g>
