Bill,you ever read the xybernaut thread in the early days? QUITE A HOOT. To:Derald Muniz who wrote (15) From: Divyendu Mohanty Monday, Jul 22, 1996 1:00 AM Respond to of 4814 Xybernaut (XYBRU) is an IPO by Kensington Wells and Royce Investment, both of which had exceptional IPOs in the past. The last one by Kensington Wells was VideoLAN (VLNT/VLNTW) which was the biggest success on Wall Street last year. The unit rose from $4 to $19, lingered in the teens for a while and then made the move to the 80s - yes the 80s as a unit ($47 - VLNT and $39 - VLNTW). Since then it has come down and the unit is about $30 now. However, the point is it made a sudden move after two months after the IPO. I expect the same to happen with XYBRU, though not to the same degree. Royce was also the underwriter of Company Doctor (CDOC/CDOCW) which had nearly tripled from $5 to $13-14. I can see the potential of this IPO, with the weight that these two investment firms can put in.Xybernaut is a good company which has a unique product - computers that can be worn by users needing information, while on the job. Part of it is attached to the waist and the viewing is done through a headset. It has immense potential as a product in many fields - aerospace, defense, manufacturing, etc. VideoLAN had surprised Wall Street last year, but this year the big boys are already buying Xybernaut - waiting for the runup to come soon. I expect the stock to run up to the 30s in 45-90 days. My expectations are again based on the past performances of the underwriters and the potential of the company itself, based on its unique product. I bought at 16.25 and will be buying some more. Good luck.Divyendu Mohanty Message 184953
