Hey e.. Tried to talk to IR today...boy is she not talking...every question I asked, I couldn't get an answer to because of the quiet period. My main line of questioning had to do with added attention, they were receiving due to MKTW IPO ... meaning that MKTW gave DBCC a larger audience, a point on which she couldn't comment. And then I said, I mean DBC has never traded 30,000,000 shares before. To which she replied, she couldn't comment on market activity. All I could really get out of here was that DBC was getting "a lot more inquiries for its services recently"... Talk about mum's the word. I also asked when the 4 th quarter report was coming out...and all she would say is soon.... Tried to pry with questions, I knew she couldn't answers, about the company turning itself into an "internet company" and whether this "turn around" would be apparent in next release... Obviously she didn't know and couldn't tell me...but still the same I asked just for the heck of it. Started to talk about the other services they provided for professional bond traders, and brokers plus what was their relationship with their other partners and clients, but before I could get answers, she had to take another call. ( For anyone else, IR number is 310-207-9300, contact is Cecilia Wilkinson @ Pondel Parsons & Wilkinson) Now es, have another question for you. With the incredible market pressures on MKTW shares and the small allocations, how quickly before MarketWatch can have a split? With a three or four for one split that still only puts max 10,000,000 into the float with the other shares still restricted. Compared to some of these other high flyers a 4 for 1 split at a price of 50 creates a $2,000,000,000 market cap that by yahoo and AOL and AMZN standards plus many others is "relatively" cheap. Just thinking ahead....geeze these are crazy stocks... Plus with the over allocation even if you got 100 shares @10 and sold those shares at 100 at 100, you only made $9,000.00 Many of us who traded DBCC did a whole lot better than that.. Many still holding DBCC shares did a whole lot better still..if they didn't chase after .... Glad I got my seats when I did, and then went out during the intermission to get some air... What a rush... z
