Irv DeGraw Deal Quotations

This is a classic Internet company and they will be burning cash like there's no tomorrow. But the deal is programmed to explode on its first day with 3.5 million shares priced between $12 and $14.

That's a bruise, but not a deal breaker. But losing it when they did will put somewhat of a crimp in their early valuation.

If you're a good deal you're going to get done. If you're not a good, strong, solid deal, there's no hope for you.

This always happens when the market gets flooded. I'm afraid a lot of these deals are getting lost in the shuffle and this is what is happening with Western.

They were having some difficulty getting this deal done because the company is very highly leveraged. It's a very risky deal, and if it weren't for the superstar management team, no one would pay attention to it.

This is the early salvo of the next generation of utility firms. It's a pretty big deal but should still have a pretty solid debut.

I guarantee these guys cut deals that apply for years.

If this were a 10 million share deal you'd see it jump all over the place, even in this market. With a deal of this size, pricing is much closer to fair market.

This deal is really speculative, but the company has enough breakthrough to turn out OK.

This next week will be very, very quiet. Not only are there very few deals, but these are deals that wouldn't do well in a strong market.

We haven't seen as many of those break through deals the past two weeks, and next week is going to be more of the same. But there's a lot more strength in the biotech market than the last two week's run on the sector would indicate.
