The first sentence of this post and other like this make me wonder about the average internet stock investor... and shows how easy these stocks could be "taken advantage of" (notice I didnt say manipulated Alicia), because of investors such as this... the panic that can be spread so easily... I dont understand the mentality that a stock is tanking when it's up 5% for the day.... (this was posted in the last 10 minutes of the trading day to be fair) From Yahoo board... Anybody, is this a good time to buy,end of today or will it keep tanking tommorrow??? in other words will the MMs buy back in today or will they tomorrow or after hours??

Hope to Cover my Short Today My feeling is that $20 already includes the Marketwatch IPO speculative value to DBCC. The stock may establish a new base here, and go higher into the IPO, but after that the fources of gravity will take over. I hope people who bought this stock yesturday have modest expectations, and are prepared to take their lumps if fading volume takes the speculators along with it. I was very surprised with Monday's volume, so anything can still happen as long as it keeps up. As to DBCC buyout speculation by CBS or another party. I don't understand why people think a company that; after being a public concern for 10 years, and being one of the first players on the internet, and only manage a few pennies in earnings per year, with competitors like Reuters, Bloomberg, and S&P Comstock going after the retail market more and more, would command any more value then it's current stock price would suggest. If anything, one of DBCC's competitors will buy them if for no other reason, then to get their customers. And those competitors already know DBCC's true value, and are not about to overpay for it.
