Yeah, $50 after a 2:1 split! BKS has got it all now, both the internet and the brick & mortar experience. Just imagine, you can go into a BKS store, browse around, buy a few books, then a week later you can order online that book which you browsed through earlier. I truly think that most BKS store shoppers will be loyal to BKS if they need to order online, thus taking market share away from Amazon. You can imagine how much BKS can expand the BKS.com brand name with all that IPO $$. This is a monster stock in the making. Any price under $40 is a screaming buy on BKS, likewise with BKS.com, which by the way I'm hearing that we stockholders will get a piece of! I agree with the analyst I saw on CNNfn who said that buying BKS now is analogous to buying Amazon in its infancy. Yeah boy, I agree with that!

Nikkei up 480+ points!!!!!! That should trigger a explosive start tomorrow. Even if BKS goes to $50.00 later on....the price will still look cheap compare to $138.50 Amazon.com BT Alex Brown gave a buy rating on Barnes & Noble, give it another week or two more and more brokerage firms will upgrade BKS. There was a time that Amazon.com was trading at the $30 range too, then came the analyst/CNBC/Barron/WEB SITE HYPE/Henry Blodgett/and etc... AMAZON.COM >>>>>>> $400.00+ >>>>>>> $200.00(3)----> $600.00 If Amazon.com can go to $600.00 Barnes & Noble should be at least $45 to start, no doubt in my mind BARNES AND NOBLE.COM will fly to $100 on its first IPO debut. I agree with you bird $50 is cheap.
