If this thing doubles on Monday (or whenever it goes) would you sell half of your shares? All of 'em? Or do you really think this company has a good possibility of being a "keeper" (as I do)? Now there's the $64,000 question. Usually the stock will at some point in the first month drop below the opening price. If you can time the IPO opening-day-or-two buying peak to get out and then time the first-month trough to get back in, you can make a ton of extra money. OTOH, some stocks don't seem to want to drop, despite their ridiculous valuation, like PCLN. I haven't yet decided if I will keep all 100 shares (I bid for 500 at whatever price they offer it at) or sell half if I can get in on the IPO. I sincerely hope that I do, since I seem to have the earliest possible IOI time of 4:25. IMHO, TheStreet.Com has very good name recognition among on-line stock buyers, which is the group that drives .COM prices, so it should be Big, Really Big.

I would keep TSCM, with Rupert Murdoch's Fox, buying 10% of the company I think it should be in the same price range of CBS Marketwatch. Should be a tremendous first day of trading!! $Mogul

.Or do you really think this company has a good possibility of being a "keeper" (as I do)? The company might be a keeper, but it will be hard to justify its $1B+ market cap (if the stock opens at $40), given its relative small revenue stream at this point. I suspect an opening somewhere between 40 and 80, and a probably a quick 10 to 20 point drop. Drop will be less if the opening is more toward 40. I think the MKTW first day is a good indicator of what to expect. Gary
