Steve, BKS higher than $60 before IPO is even better. I'll be smiling all the way to the bank. As for CPQ, I think it will put negative pressure on the market as a whole, and thus affect BKS. Lets hope not. Good luck.

Yes,Steve,I agree,as I see BKS as an tightlly coiled undervalued spring,it has a lot stored up energy in it---some FUNDS I think may even ponder moving some holdings in AMZN to BKS(and perhaps they already are doing so).A stock like BKS is where many investors look and say,when that old pendulum swings I am going to ride the baby up-- I think it's time has come--my opinion only.Time will tell.Max90

Steve, BKS is late in the game of internet commerce. To compare Amazon to BKS in terms of book, sales, earnings, is not valid. You have to have information re: sales for BKS from internet and compare to Amazon and then factor a premium for AMZN due to how well known they are. Someone suggested to me that due to the spinoff, to expect BKS to get to 40+ by the end of the month, as most of these go to their highs by the spinoff date. To expect much higher may be fooling you. Good Luck, I hope to join in for the BKS move, from 33 to 40, not bad for less than a month. Ketan edit: wow I feel silly, it must have jumped the last few days, cuz I just noticed it is at 39, may be too late for me. Good luck.
