This S1A is Terrible News for NAVR Shareholders!

I can't understand why everyone is so happy around here,
this news is terrible, and barely makes NAVR worth the
price it closed at Friday! Here you have a software
distributor barely worth a $200mil Market Cap, if you
figure on it's best day NAVR's worth $9 x 23mil Shares.
Now you give it the Market Cap gained from The NetRadio
IPO where they keep half of $50 x 4mil Shares, or $100mil.
I'm being VERY generous here by assuming NetRadio will
Triple on IPO as other recent InterNet IPO's have done.
If you veterans from the MarketWatch IPO think NetRadio
will open 800% higher, you are deluding yourselves as
the market is a very different place now. Back then we
had InterNet IPOs once every few weeks, now we've got
them going every other day! MarketWatch was very well
known InterNet real estate. Most people you ask about
Streaming Music on the InterNet will know Broadcast.com
and MP3.com , never knowing of NetRadio. We know there
is no buyer like the one Broadcast benefitted from or it
would have happened in the 9 months since the IPO was
first announced. Just look at LCOS shareholders dreaming
that if their deal with USA is voted down, that there would
be someone else to buy them. Wake up and smell the coffee
people, nobody's buying these cappy companies unless they
themselves have overpriced stocks as currency. Anyway, the
point I'm trying to make is; to ask people on this thread
how they can realistically expect NAVR to rise much higher
than the teens given the value of this deal. I guess those
insiders who started selling already in the teens must of
known this, and will dumping on mass thru the month of May.
When we did the math on DBCC back in December, you could
easially arrive at a $28 value when the stock was trading
in the low teens. Here you have a NAVR already trading at
it's fully valued price including the IPO, so the shares
I bought at $17 earlier last month are obviously a wasted
position that I hope to bail out of as soon as possible.
Please, tell me I'm wrong, tell me I've missed something,
tell me there is more potential value here and I'll hold.
