It seem that MALL wants to build a bottom in the low 20 range I think between 17 and 20 I will be on the buy side - hope the market will hold up until then. Check ONSL and EBAY action. If AG comes out and prays i.e. (we know from last year) then the story is history.. I do not short MALL but when I think they came from nowhere and, without a successful ubid they will be a $10 stock, one should be careful. Compare the price action to DBCC when it turned out that marketwatch will go for rather pennies. DBCC lost $2 or more then 20% since. C.

Fawn, I'm fully aware of a very different valuation model for net stocks. And that's precisely what I did. I used WS valuation for comparable computer auction net stocks as a benchmark for UBID, specifically the leaders in the field ONSL. It turns out EGGS (no more brick-and-mortar, all net now as you know) is getting almost the same valuation as ONSL too. Yes, I'm short MALL (from the high 20s) and am ahead a few dollars. On the day before UBID's IPO, I'll share with you my strategy for probable quick profits within the first 15 minutes of UBID's opening (which requires some actions the day before the IPO). Regards, Tom

Hello Tom and all other MALL shorters! Tom, your valuations DO NOT APPLY when you try to determine an IPOs value!! NOT ONE OF THE INTERNET WONDERS YOU SEE TRADING EVERY SINGLE DAY (YHOO, AMZN, EBAY EWBX, TGLO - ALL EXTREMELY HYPED IPOS) is trading within its "SUPPOSED, CALCULATED" value!!! That is the beauty of the internets! They are trading on a promise THAT THE INTERNET WILL (AND DOES) REVOLUTIONIZE THE FUTURE AND WILL AND DOES BRING MORE AND MORE PROFITS! NO ONE WANTS TO LEFT OUT AGAIN ON A HOT INTERNET IPO! PEOPLE are tired of missing the next YHOO, AMZN, EBAY, INKT or BRCM! ENOUGH PRECEDENTS HAVE BEEN SET TO SHOW YOU, TOM, THAT THE INTERNET IS HERE TO STAY! Tom, UBID is not COOL, EGGS or any of the other "one trick ponies" you are comparing it to. UBID has been mentioned as the biggest competitor to EBAY by Wall street analysts and WILL be a "BLOCKBUSTER IPO"! The price of MALL will drift around $20 - $26 range until Merrill opens the floodgates to "HYPE" the IPO, approximately 2-3 days prior. Then...WATCH WHAT HAPPENS TO MALL! The real "SMART" MONEY WILL BE MADE ON THE DAY OF THE IPO, because "SOMEONE" will know at what price UBID will come out before everyone else does and they will certainly buy up(or sell) all they can, to take advantage of the obvious price discrepency between the two (UBID and MALL)at the open. So again, TOM, Your efforts to convince people that being "long" this stock is dangerous is futile! YOU are in extreme danger of losing your hard earned cash, you should take your "short" position up either later or in another stock! IMHO Rico
