ot, please explain the 750,000 shares of BRCM. Are you sure that wasn't just additional new shares (what do they call that? a "greenshoe" or something?)? That would be highly unusual for pre-IPO shareholders to be able to sell in the open market right after the IPO with no lock-up period. Any details or links would be of interest (though I'm not sure why I care since you can't short an IPO anyway, so if you are right it doesn't really do us any good). Regards, Bob
