  • CKS Group (NASDAQ:CKSG) starts to find believers closing the gap between its trading range and the pending offer of $21.21 per share stock swap from USWeb (NASDAQ:USWB). The overall deal value was set at $350 million when announced two weeks ago, with both stocks trading south since then and recovering ground in the past few sessions. We agree that the double up may create a stronger player in the field, but advocate the name stay as USWeb, not Reinvent. Toby (USWeb president) perhaps you could do a poll of your clients and Web users, see what they think on the name. CKSG ends today up 23% to $14.50 per share. USWB closes at $11.25, up 17%.
