Unfortunately TSQD took it on the chin when WCAP started to tank but next week TSQD will shine. As the focus turns to Digital Rivers much anticipated IPO, Tech Squared will start to get coverage as well. If you were fortunate enough to sell high and re-enter at a lower price thats great. For those of you that are wondering if you should have sold in the 7's..........you'll have your chance next week. TSQD will see 11, 12, 13 just as WCAP did.

CYBERIAN OUTPOST (COOL) 23 5/8 +5 5/8. It took almost five hours, but BT Alex. Brown finally got COOL shares open. Given the length of the delay, one would have expected a much stronger initial pop in the stock. Shares of the online computer hardware and software retailer appeared to have opened at $30. But the first several numbers were simply indications, not actual trades. When the indication tumbled to $25, traders in major stake-holder Winfield Capital (WCAP 7 3/4 -1 5/32) began bailing out of the stock, sending the issue tumbling from the $11 level, on staggering volume of 11.5 million shares. The hope was that COOL would be another Broadcast.com (BCST) a recent IPO that rose more than 200% on its first day of trading. While COOL won't go into the record books as being the largest first day gainer in stock market history, it will secure a place as being one of the more controversial initial public offerings. Expect traders to question why it took underwriter BT. Alex. Brown so long to get the stock open, especially since retail demand for the issue was nowhere near the level the length of the delay would have suggested. There will also be questions about those initial indications from the market makers.
