About Lockups: You state: "Why have your last two recommendations been right before lockup expirations..????????????????????? I guess it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that answer." Your post clearly suggests some kind of fraudulent or collusive act by Gilder. Where is your evidence? Here are the facts: 1. Gilder focuses on techs 2. Techs by definition tend to be involved in many IPO's and IPO spinoffs. 3. Lockups in various forms, whether mandated or contracted, tend to happen in various time frames after an IPO, often at 3 months, 6 months, and one year. 4. If Gilder were going to commit fraudulent acts, you really think he would advertise it by tying it in with lockups so even misguided amateurs could make blanket unsupported accusations? 5. If Gilder were to commit fraud (which I don't believe he would) believe me, it would take a clever team of forensic auditors, and good securities attorneys to track it down. It also would probably make a good Columbo espisode, without the murder of course. Please save your accusations when you can back them up.
