Stephen, although I am stunned by the pricing, I agree
with you to the point.

The fact that this is a deal managed by GS and MSDW, two
most successful underwriter, makes PALM at 80+ an almost
given.

These guys know their stuff. They wont take the chance
and screw up this most widely watched deal.

As to valuation, anyone pls explain me why JNPR, SCMR, WEBM
are worth what they have today?

Stephen:

Take a look at how these three performed on Day 2:

Message 13014174

NTGX and AVEA have more or less held their Day 1 triple, NIKU has tacked on another 50% from its (2.7 x pricing) open and is now 4.3 x final pricing.

Stephen: Anything can happen on IPO day...but conservatively I'm thinking that PALM will trade at 60 or better and that using a discount of 1.3 that puts COMS at 103....PALM at 90 gives 142 at 1.3 discount and 25 for COMS.

But street doesn't trade logically, so let's use your numbers.

Good luck tomorrow!
