No more calls....

I have come up with what I think is a Brilliant Epiphany!!!

If the institutions are buying as michael says, then who is selling is the old Sperry/ burrooughs guys. Remember they saw this stock go from 80 to 6. When it started to go up they couldn't believe it and I am sure, being a little older, and probably not really interested, put in stop loss orders all the way up. When the stock dipped a few points after the mtg that triggered the first of them and set in process the stock market version of a thermonuclear detonator. Which just kept feeding on itself.

By the way, this is very similar to the "portfollio insurance" crash of 1987.

A lot of posters here were in the old school. Anyone still around? Any casual empiricism would be helpful.

Brilliant, huh???

If I am right, you guys owe me a beer.

Don't worry you can just email it to me. :)
