The best way to play the IPO game, if you're not in before it opens is just to buy the already public companies that are related. CIEN (Ciena) is probably the closest and still reasonable market cap wise. At $36 Corvis is already 12 billion.

Qwark, HUBER on CNBC @2:30 ET - CORV opens at 74, soars to 98, settles back just south of 79. You were correct. BIG Pop on open from 74 to 98, now hanging just south of 79. Wonder what the afterlunch east coast crowd will pay? 31.6 million shares were offered, so far 15.9 have changed hands since open. Will be interesting to see the total shares traded at close -- 50MM? ONIS closed around $82 on IPO day -- this should closed around the same, JMHO. Wonder if Huber on CNBC will also give CORV a small pop?? Merry
