This is almost off-topic, but I need to vent my regrets. The day before the DRIV IPO, I told a financially well-endowed friend of mine about it... said it would probably be quite a mover if it opened for trading near the $8.50 level. Well, as you all know, it opened around there, went down a bit, and has traded over $12 since. My friend caught it at $8 and change... about $100k worth... and took profits today at $12+. 39% -- approx. $40,000 -- in two days. Thanks to my advice. Did I act on my own gut instincts? No! I played with TSQD instead and ended up taking a small loss. Story of my life. If my office weren't on the ground floor... arrgh!! Michael Bendner
