A Negative Poster/ My comments about the DBCC calls You join a handful of negative posters regarding the comments I have put on this thread. I have received dozens of positive responses to the information I have put out on this thread and others since my first post. If you do not like my style, you do not have to read what I have to say. Fortunately many individuals have learned a great deal and it is their positive reinforcement that will keeping me posting on this thread whether the threesome of you, Funk or Mack like it or not. I have some advice for you, open an account at MB and use ARCA. Then when you get ripped off, you will say, damm, that SCANSHIFT was right after all. Although maybe, now that Putnam and Townsend are putting 50 million dollars in their pocket from E*Trade and Goldman, they will cool off ripping off their ARCA customer base? Too bad you did not read my comment about the DBCC calls, I bet you would have a better attitude. This was my post on the DBCC thread earlier in the week. I had a couple followups to it. Note- This is the only stock I have given a recommendation on in the five months I have been a member of Silicon Investors. Talk : Web/Info : Data Broadcasting Corp. (DBCC) To: Amy2D (2108 ) From: scanshift Tuesday, Jan 5 1999 7:42PM ET Reply # of 2369 I think given the "potential" explosive upside action as we get closer to the IPO, that the Jan 20 calls are cheap at 1 1/2. As the IPO gets closer, there could be a daytrader "herd" mentality that causes some truly significant intraday price swings that we have not seen yet. That should put a floor of around 1 point under the 20 calls for a long while; in other words, why would anyone want to sell potential dynamite? I would rather buy it. I guess it comes down to, what is 1 1/2 points to find out? Amy, thanks for your outstanding question. All the best.
