Tom Calandra chief economist at CBS marketwatch has PASA in the news again today.......he really likes it as a takeover play.... cbs.marketwatch.com yhoo&dist=yhoo -- Next week, Spanish Internet services provider Terra Networks (TRRA: news, msgs) will see its IPO "quiet period" come to a close. As reported here, Terra's executives on their initial public offering road show and in their prospectus materials said they are on the hunt for Spanish language portals. A previous StockWatch column examined prospects for tiny Quespasa.com (PASA: news, msgs) of Arizona, which holds a $130 million market capitalization, and privately-held www.yupi.com. The looming IPO of Argentine Internet service provider El Sitio (proposed ticker: LCTO) later this week might fan the flames. If the Argentine Web site gets a robust market capitalization after the Credit Suisse First Boston-led offering on the U.S. stock market, investors might turn to Quepasa.com as a takeover target. Terra Networks CEO Juan Perea Saenz de Buruaga has said he is willing to buy Spanish-language Web sites to broaden his company's appeal to Hispanic Americans. Shares of Quepasa.com on Wednesday, after this column was published, rose 1 1/16 to 10 1/16.
