DLIA. Well I guess so, I've held this so long I'm a little nervous of major correction or, g-d forbid, downgrade. I have a pretty big stake in DLIA because I've been accumulating for a while now. I sold EFII on Monday after a long term hold and it was down only 3 and now looks ripe again. Perhaps I'll keep it with a tight stop. I took a real licking when I sold LXK and POS. seems they both went into 'star' status right after I sold. (the two of them cost me a total of 26 points in profit in just a few weeks)

I agree. I think iTurf could be huge, so I used the dip into the 28s to establish a position. (I missed the preceding run.) iTurf is a profitable company, according to its registration statement. It's positioning itself as the leading portal and e-commerce center for Generation Y, with an especially impressive effort to reach out to girls. The demographics are ideal. The financials are impressive: 1998 revenues of $4.014 million ($2.1 million in the fourth quarter) versus 1997 revenues of $134,000. FY98 EPS was $0.04/share. The underwriting team is first-rate: BT Alex Brown and Hambrecht & Quist co-leads; J.P. Morgan, CIBC Oppenheimer, and Wit Capital are also on board. DLIA's earnings pre-announcement suggested that the IPO will be out before April 15. I'd be surprised if the run to 36 1/4 is the end of the story for this pre-IPO play. There's far too much to like here.
