Re: [Plug] Question of the Day:Redhat IPO

["Nick R" <laktar@hotmail.com>]

I think RedHat's gonna be a great investment. They're losing money, but so 
has Amazon for a looong time & there stock seems to be shooting up quite 
nicely at the same breakneck pace insanely unique to Internet/computer 
companies. A friend of mine who's made a nice tidy little sum in 
Internet/computer company stock seems to think it's a good idea to wait 
about 2 days or so after it comes out because of an early drop due to people 
trying to make money quick & selling. I'm keeping it for the long haul 
personally. They could seriously go places if they can balance the desire to 
sell out against the desire to give back to the community and support Open 
Source.
