Mp3.com's first day in NASDAQ was a really roller coaster ride -- the share started at $28 and reached the top with $105 and started going down to $58 1/2. After the bottom, it started to go up again and reached $63 5/16 when NASDAQ was closed.. Interesting to see, what will be the average level in long term for this mp3 "revolution" pioneer.
