This is very big news for the Dotcom industry! A 15 billion-dollar IPO is unheard of in the IT industry. Anyone want to throw money together with me and do this??

Their stock will increase in valuable probably within the hour, day, week, etc. Then, if you're in it to make the money, you sell when you feel like you are at a comfortable point.

This is a basic flow process of an IPO. There's a whole lot more to it, but since I'm not a stockbroker, I don't know much. My dad is up on it though!

of course if you sell within the first year you will pay 40% to the government right off the bat.

I believe only 20 or 30% if you wait at least 1 year.

Early reports indicate this is going down in March of 2003. If you start saving your money now, you can lay down some big bucks come March by purchasing a bulk load of shares.
