Martin, The only thing we can say for sure is that DBCC right now is a momentum driven stock. It turns quickly both on the upside and downside, so be careful on either side! Perhaps we should also value DBCC's business before the MKTW IPO in this calculation and add that to any calculation of DBCC's ongoing business concern value as well as book value. Anyone (and this may not have an answer!)has anyone tried to establish an average book value/stock price in the Internet sector? 2x book, 3x book, 4X book? Maybe we could take an analogy from high growth tech and telcomm stocks for valuation purposes....Often in those two sectors high rate growth stocks are valued anywhere from 2.5X book to 7 or 8X book with an average in the 5-6X book range.... I may buy a handful on Feb Calls on tuesday if we get a down opening.... Sincerely, Doug F.
