The Company also offers a wide range of other financial information and subscription services as well as community features to provide a "one-stop-shop" for its audience. Recent additions to the Company's Web site include columns by well-known commentators, enhanced personal portfolio tracking features, hosted chat rooms, bulletin boards and messaging. The Company's front page is carefully designed and regularly updated throughout the trading day by its journalists and editors to inform its audience of the important stories of the moment. Unlike many of its Web-based competitors, the Company does not rely exclusively on automatic editing and display systems; instead it leverages its journalistic experience to add an editorial framework to its content. From the CBS.MarketWatch.com Web site's ‘front page,' users can access news stories, columns and headlines written by its reporters and third parties, such as Reuters, Associated Press, Business Wire and PR Newswire, as well as stock quotes and other business and financial data and analytic tools. The Company's Web site also offers limited audio and video clips of news reports that were recently broadcast on the CBS Television Network and CBS Radio by the Company's correspondents. Users can also search a historical database of news stories by company name and ticker symbol. The Company creates and publishes on its Web site real-time commentary and analysis of business and financial news and a number of regular columns by its experienced editorial staff. The Company's news features include real-time headlines, stock market news and updates and coverage of technology stocks, bond markets, initial public offerings and other areas of interest to its audience. Historically, the Company's advertisers have been from the technology and financial services industry, but the Company has recently attracted advertisers from brands outside of these industries, such as American Airlines, DeBeers, Ford, Sprint, Toyota and Volvo. In September 1998, the Company's Web site attracted nearly 2.0 million visitors who generated more than 45 million page views, as compared with approximately 785,000 visitors who generated more than 38 million page views in March 1998. ipomaven.com

Dave S, I answered a similar question on Yahoo board. My advice and this is only from watching a lot of other stocks that had a lot of news and talk about them on message boards .. and I can only go on past behaviour of other stocks is this. Don't touch it the 1st 10 minutes of Monday morning trading. It should gap up and then maybe trade up for a few minutes. At some point between 9:45-10:30 the MMs should bring it down quickly to shake out some people. Then at some point in the afternoon there will be a lull as well.. when daytraders exit.. I'm a big believer in filling of gaps.. that is when a stock gaps up quickly at some point it goes back to refill the gap. Right now, DBCC has done that which is very healthy. Wednesday if filled the 13.50-14.00 gap which is very bullish and then Thursday it came back down briefly in the afternoon to around 16 3/4 or so. So I think those gaps are all full. Now the high Thur was 18.50 or so... and it we gap up to say 22 or something, then at some point early next week I would expect the MMs to bring it back down to 19 or so.. .even if its very briefly.. and perhaps even lower to scoop up stop losses. So my advice to you would be this. Decide how many shares in total you want to buy.. for example 400 and split it up into 4 limit orders. Say 100 each at 18 19 20 22. That way you average your cost out and if somehow it just goes up and up (which I doubt, every stock retreats even if its for a short period of time) you at least have some shares. But as for your original question I wouldn't touch it in the 1st 10 minutes Monday. Once again, thats just my opinions and Im just going on how other similar situations have played out.. I could be totally wrong ;) Mark
