Christian & Others.... Do you all think you can convince people by making your statements sound so certain? Neither you nor I have a clue what the price will do tomorrow or the next day. But based on the fervor and the emotionally laden content of your and others posts, you sound like you are all in a position where you're all scared that the price won't go down without trying to create fear and hysteria. Unfortunately for you, all your fear mongering is pretty irrelevant. (And in the greater scheme of things, so are all my words as well). Now for some objectivity and another backdoor analogy or example look what occurred to DRIV and TSQD. TSQD went from pennies up to seven dollars prior to the pricing of DRIV. However, when DRIV was going to be offered, the offering price was lowered. DRIV came out and flopped- traded as high as 12 but ended up soon there after dipping all the way down to five. All those who'd had faith in TSQD, abandoned ship and TSQD went back down to below $2. Here everyone could have bought easily at $5 to $6, but nobody did. DRIV wasn't recognized as a "leader". Slowly DRIV heated up and now has traded as high as $57. But TSQD has now only been "re"-recognized by investors and has slowly only now climbed above five. During the summer the IPO frenzy became discriminating. Broadcast.com flew, but the like of Geocities, DRIV, and COOL languished. But look where all three are now. Now is MKTW a Broadcast.com or a DRIV? Will you be able to buy MKTW instead of DBCC at comparable prices? I submit these as indicators that indicate the answer to the just aforementioned question is "no". However, knowing shorter tactics, I realize you'll dismiss my indicators without rational discussion. 1). Unlike DRIV, MKTW price has already been raised. 2). MKTW float is extremely small. IPO is over subscribed. 3). Volume on DBCC has been nothing short of "incredible" 4). MKTW is recognized as a "leader". Deals with AOL and GNET confirm that stature. CBS has the clout and means that generates web traffic that makes any and every over priced portal envious. Generating web traffic is the key to generating revenue from advertisers who pay more to place adds on sites with heavy "web" traffic. Again these are just indicators, neither you nor I can state definitively what will happen and what either DBCC or MKTW's price will do until MKTW starts trading. But the pseudo certainty of yours and others with statements like yours are just outright silly. ztect
