FBR owns 10.8% of webmethods, which will be IPO on Feb 7, and it will be the hottest for 2000. FBR will shoot to the moon! yes, baby!

Believe it or not, it was me who wrote that post, and it's one of the dumbest posts I've ever written (particularly that part). I was outright wrong, I'm finally combing thru FBR financials now to get a handle on things, particularly the relationship between FBR and FBRTV. In the meantime, I've made a few calculations and am a bit surprised with what I've found. Assuming AETH's current price and assuming (this is a very BIG if) that WEBM will hit $125 tomorrow, then the FBRTV stake in those 2 will be: AETH $203.5 million WEBM $345.4 million Subtotal: $548.9 million Current FBR mkt cap: $880 million again, i don't know if everything or just a portion of what's in FBRTV get passed up to its parent FBR. though for the mkt cap, it looks like FBR will already gap up tomorrow, if after-hours trading was as good as I've heard. - Netconductor.com >>psyduck wrote: OTOH, FBR Technology Ventures is said to be a "tiny" part of FBR: Message 12652913 ...hmmmm. p
