If this helps any, I received an email from Fidelity (my brokerage) a few days ago: New Issue Offerings Participation and Preliminary Prospectus Announcement Fidelity is pleased to announce that we are able to provide qualified customers* with the possibility of participating in the following public offering: Name of issuer Metricom Inc. Industry Wireless Telecommunications Security type Common Stock Expected Size of Offering 5,000,000 Shares Current Price $99.125 as of close on 1/26 Symbol/exchange MCOM / NASDAQ Offering type Add-on Offering Distribution by Issuer Distribution by issuer represents N/A Expected pricing date 2/1/00 Please check our website (fens.fidelityinv.com) to download a preliminary prospectus. [rest of email snipped] Sounds to me like they are just (for now) selling some more shares, raising some more cash courtesy of their now sizable market cap. Ordinarily I would participate, but if I thought $100/share was a deal, why wouldn't I have bought more this past week? :) -G
