Maybe you should ask a Newbie that Question I've watched DBCC for almost 10 years, in my mind, the company is pretty much a commodity that's using this IPO gimmick to stir up it's ailing stock price. As my impression is biased over the longer term, I guess you should ask a technical newbie what he thinks of DBCC based on it's recent activity going into the IPO. I would agree with you that whatever backfilling we see, won't go much below that old $16-17 price range unless there are enough MM's out there who still need to cover their shorts before the IPO. BTW, you can't truely judge how hot an IPO will be unless you have an account with a primary underwriter, and ask your broaker within a few days of the actual IPO to get you shares. Even if they only give you 100 shares, that does not mean it's hot, only that they are most likely spreading the shares around given how few are actually being issued. This is what makes most of these Internet IPO's so artifically hot, is the small number of shares issued to satisfy a swelling appetite.
