PatP, here is a rumor, maybe not a rumor since it looks like it crossed on a wire someplace. But I got to thinking what if NITE really was into this kind of thing. What kind of stocks might they be into? So I pulled the monthly volume report for PABN just to make sure there was likely no connection. What a relief it was to see that while they do make a market in PABN, they weren't the number one by volume. They were just an insignificant second. But here is the data in case you were interested:
