Well put... And speaking of puts...a quick question...when does UPCOY become optionable? Could you see using a long-term straddle of these two securities to make some coin? Paulie

Oh I see, so every other stock (which did not have IPO's) that fell on Friday went % down point for point with NASDAQ -- NOT. Some went down more, some less and at different times during the fall --- the "evident" part of your post is not "evident. What I said, and if you would like me to provide you with the link to my post on yahoo I will, was that , among other things, a large mkt drop on the day of the IPO can/will hurt this stock as all others. The mkt drop happened period "end of story". I was not "trying to argue anything but the real value of this company. Others, and I am not sure you were one (you may be one that did not put up a price at all to make things easier for yourself) said this would fall into the 30s and even single digits. Even with the mkt fall that did not happen. It fell to exactly where it was just two days before the IPO --- not a big deal if looked at over more than a day. Just a blip in time --- .
