I have two possible explanations for the recent GLIA stock weakness.

1) A large institutional owner is selling out
2) Short speculation before the earnings release. I have seen this one too often. GLIA may be a good target because

a) it has earnings
b) its a small cap and usually is not that actively traded

I have seen this pattern all too often - in the GLIA Yahoo thread Biotech13 mentioned OSTE - but this is not limited to biotech stocks.

The days before earnings release are very good for a short attack because the stock price movement is very closely monitored. When the stockprice is weak before the earnings release many stockholders think " Well someone must know something"...
All to often,this does not turn out to be true. Just my humble opinion.
I will wait and see,

Ralf
