AS, you don't need to feel guilty about promoting BKS and failed. Everyone should be a judge of his/her own investment. People make mistakes, it happens. Timing is too bad for BNBN IPO. Yes, there was not a single spike before IPO, which means the market evaluated that BNBN has been priced in BKS as 35 dollars totally. As Glen's calculation, I think BKS alone should worth 35. I am not sure BNBN is undervalued or not, but obviously BKS is. I am not going to take loss and run. Good luck!

AS ... I mentioned a couple of times my experience with TNO & MMPT & tried to warn everyone. BKS & BNBN went exactly the same. In short, don't do back door IPO plays with anything other than a nasdaq parent .... & .... in BNBN's case, ... I also feel the float is too large for a good internet play. The internet is the hot sector ... but it could be any widget ... as long as its a good trading vehicle. If you have an internet play that isn't a good trading vehicle ... the chances of it going awry is much greater. Best to put this one down to experience .... but remember the lesson for next time !!!
