ztect I will comment on your issue #1

UBID was increased from $10-$12 to $13-$14 the week of the IPO because of a similar demand for the IPO.

As for DBCC and MKTW relationship I have no idea how it will work out. I bought in early enough that I don't want to sit through the volatility for that first week when MKTW and DBCC trade "in tandem". However, if MKTW continues a strong ascent throughout the year, DBCC will benefit in a big way. But we all know the 1st week or two of any IPO is a crazy time as the price gets shaken all over the place.

There are many ways to play this.. we just have to see how it works out. That's the fun *grin*

P.S. Shares are 2.75M not 2.50M for MKTW (I don't see that changing, but I do see the offering price getting bumped up a few bucks)

Mark
