It is very simple. Take your profits from DBCC that are probably very large (I made only a small amount of money here) and roll it over into the next one. That one is NAVR. You all know about NAVR (spinning off Netradio with CEO of Netradio announced today). It was UP 2 1/4 today to 17.5 with higher after hours trades. The valuation comparison is extremely compelling. If NAVR were valued as DBCC it would be in the eighties. Take a look or take another look. John

Longs & shorts please read, let me start with full disclosure, I am short the stock @34.50 and I am long the feb 50 calls @ 2.50 (Im hedged as they say) so I don't really care what happens the first few hours tommorrow. Now, everyone here is using the comparison to mall - ubid this would be the "rosiest" of a rosy scenerio. ubid @ some level is a business in search of "revenue.." they sell stuff for profit, they also receive "revenue" in the traditional internet way "banner ads" so at some distant light galaxy away they can conceivably have a positive balance sheet..(maybe) I think a more comparable IPO would be TGLO,who is trying to be a portal,...portal? aren't those supposed to be hot? ipo day high to the $90's...now mid 30's these guys also employ that strange revenue producing product..."BANNER ADS" so now we come to marketwatch..news.. some more news NO ADS! SOMEONE TELL ME HOW THESE GUYS ARE GETTING "REVENUE!" tell me where their potential future revs might come from? DADDYS pocket?(CBS is daddy) this thing is going to be the 35 yr old son that wont move out of CBS's house! think about it, hope this helps put it in a different perspective john look for revenue on mrkt cbs.marketwatch.com

Sharon...sorry didn;t read your post until just now....somewhat after the fact. My reco was based only on a significant gap up. It is almost always advantageous to sell on a large gap up because the mm must bring the price down to cover the shorting they did to take the price up. You lock in your profits at some price and then can buy back in lower if that is your choice. The opposite is true if you are short and the stock gaps down. This is what happened with DBCC and those who covered were able to go long and then perhaps go short at a much higher price. I am recommending the market sell (or buy if short) at the open only to lock in profits. I would never recommend a market order at the open to initiate a position.
