A reality check... How many people reading this thread have plans to buy UBID the day of the IPO?....Now be honest...the answer is most likely "none". . Let's say UBID is trading at 90 on launch day...what are your plans...buy more MALL?...or sell MALL at a huge profit? . Let's say UBID trades at 25 on IPO day...and what are your plans? Most likely run like a rabbit for the nearest exit and take those juicy MALL profits. Notice how none of your plans don't invlove buying UBID?...the necessary ingrediant to a big price run-up? . . Everyone is counting on the mythical "other guy" to run up the price on UBID...not realizing that you ARE the mythical "other guy". And more than likely, your plans involve WATCHING UBID...not BUYING UBID. The mythical "other guy" has most likely established hisr UBID position via MALL...the 30-40 million shares traded the last few weeks should tell you that. . There's an ol' stud-poker axiom..."When you find yourself looking around the table trying to figure out who the patsy is going to be...it's probably you." I think that could very well apply here. . This may not be the slam-dunk we are hoping for. . "the dodger"
