Please learn from my mistake... I placed an order for BRCM at the market (did not put a limit order).... Guess what happened ?? Yes, I ended up buying at 67 .... wish I had read your comment 2 days ago... I am a beginner in this investing game... I would like to repeat your suggestion for others... PLEASE DO NOT PLACE AN ORDER AT THE MARKET PRICE.. WE DO NOT KNOW WHAT KIND OF GAMES MARKET MAKERS PLAY....I am going to have to wait some time now to recover my money....

"Either Mark is yanking your chain or he has a company that he is going to bring public through one of the underwriter(s), or has a MAJOR account with one of the underwriter(s) (both of the above would make me wonder why he would be posting on this thread :)). Neither of your assertions are correct. I do have an account with Dean Witter, but neither I or my DW broker would classify it as "major". I'm posting on this thread probably for the same reason you are; I own the stock too. Due you have anything factual to add to the discussion?
