IPO delays do NOT bode well for DBCC Given the current Euphoria for all things Internet Related, you'd think DBCC/CBS would be anxious to get Marketwatch out the door as soon as possible. Slipping from 01/11 to some late January date that's probably before the 19th only means they may not be getting as much support as they hoped. So they seed the news with an unnamed source who get's pick up by BW, and put out press releases on a slow day like today. I hate to admit it, but JJ Cramer was right when he recently wrote that most Internet stocks are not about anything but their IPO's. I guess the only question is will the Street wake up to this fact sooner or later, before or after they run up another InterNet IPO 1,000% for no good reason. You can't reasonably argue that MarketWatch is much of a premium web presense to garner that much enthusiasm, now can you? And DBCC's been around for years and still can't find a way to make any money with it's commodity services on the Internet. Reminder, I'm short, so I do have an agenda called "reality". I'll probably wait till around 3:30pm before I cover under $16.
