mmk, i am only using the new SI now. they are forcing all users to it, but really it is a better system, IMO. dono't understand why you can't post using it. maybe shut down your computer, reboot, and log in at siliconinvestor.com. and be nice to your puter. larry

Hi M sure no problem take PHCM as the example there are 64,800,000 shares outstanding but only 4,000,000 were issued in the IPO on 6/11/99 the other 60mm shares are owned by insiders, venture capital firms, etc for every IPO there is a lockup period during which the owners of these other shares can not be sold when the lockup ends they can them sell which can "flood" the market with sells for PHCM 12,200,000 "unlocked" on 12/8 another 38,400,000 unlock on 2/14/00 so instead of buyers "chasing" only 4mm shares in 2 months there can be over 50mm shares looking for buyers this often means the price will fall OK? as to SI I'm able to read and post on either maybe we all should just use the new one as it is here to stay new in the "classic" format even though I hate it compared to the old one if you have trouble e mail SI to ask how to solve the problem ot ask the SI pros on the threads
