In terms of market conditions, a YAHOO/INDI deal the next 2 weeks is PERFECT... the last week in Jan and the first week in Feb are historically the most liquid weeks of the year, with lots of money flooding into the market(and internet stocks in particular)... A YAHOO/INDI deal announced later this week or early next week would put INDI at the TOP of the HEAP, and BEFORE everybody starts throwing their money at the BIG IPO's coming... The MKTW IPO POPPED INDI to $11 2 weeks ago, and now the PUMP is being PRIMED for an even BIGGER POP on the YAHOO deal... I'd say your timing to buy at $7 was RIGHT ON!!! Not too many times you know about an upcoming HUGE DEAL before it happens, and its happening RIGHT AT PEAK MARKET CONDITIONS!!!

Colin, In the interest of clarity, the MarketWatch IPO did NOT spike INDI to 11+ 10 days ago as far as I can tell. The day that MKTW actually started trading (1/15) INDI actually went down in price by almost $3.00 per share. From my two years of experience on SI, there's no one who knows anything for sure on these threads until after something has happened! This is not to discredit anyone in particular, but rather to emphasize that these threads are for information exchange only, and there's absolutely no way to know what the objectives are of any particular poster. I learned that the hard way last year when I got caught up in the hype of a stock called Smart Modular Technologies and then wound up losing about $8K. It might be that INDI goes to 20 soon, but who really knows? It's a crapshoot, so you place your bets and follow your instincts. Hopefully, you win more than you lose. Best of luck, JMaz
