I'll go you one better than UBID/MALL. TSQD owns 3 million shares of DRIV which is $42. Total value = $126 million. TSQD has 11 million shares out or $11 of value in DRIV alone. Stock trades at $5 a share. TSQD's core business does $50 million in revenue a year. Talk about a discount. The stock was trading at $2 a share before DRIV IPO. So TSQD's DRIV stake is valued at $3 a share even though arithmetic says it's worth $11! Go figure. roger

Mr. X....One more thought for you... What happens to CNBC's position if CBS MarketWatch launches TV broadcast via cable and video stream to compliment web site? This isn't an if really, but actually more a when.... MarketWatch isn't just a "web site", it is a Financial Portal...fed with original content..... CNBC conscientiously or un-conscientiously has reason to be a little less than objective in their reporting, just like brief.com, because CBS and DBC with marketwatch have the resources. alliances and potential to blow them away and make them less relevant pretty quickly. Think about it. Also look at the experience of the CEO and Directors of DBC..They are miles ahead of you already. ztect
