Stephen,

You are right on the money. Today the price was
a little weak, but a very high-profile is coming,
and shareholders should do very well as soon as the
deal comes into the limelight. It will be a very
interesting IPO, and of course results will be
compared strictly with the other e-commerce
companies. I expect B+N.com to be among the top
e-tailers ever. Let's face it, the book industry
is far more internet compatible than most industries.
By the way, when I went to send this message, the
word internet was highlighted in red, as though it
were misspelled. How interesting.
Mike

Stephen,

Anyone who follows BKS already knows about the spinoff. Don't you think that the majority of the appreciation is already factored into the price of the stock ? I don't think that all the appreciation is in stock yet due to the risk factor of nothing happening.

I personally think that the appreciation will happen after the spinoff if the new entity's share price takes off as expected.

Ahmad
