Howarth, i think that there is more to NN's upward movementÿ than takeover speculation. That has been there since Nov., daily and persistent, but we did not have these violentÿ break out then.So there is something else going on. You take your pick: -great eps -great execution from new CEO -great new contracts -exciting results from trials -large installed base of blue chip customers -the recognition that the internet can only run on IP+ATMÿ ÿand that NN is the leader in ATM and everybody ÿelse is sadly lagging way back. -or, even a deal in the works
As far as it falling back to 25 I suppose everything is possible.It happened to Oracle last Nove.Was in theÿ doldrums forever at 23.Then one day it had a smashingÿ breakout to 27 - 28. I said too late to buy ii now. Then it fell back to 25. I didn't buy it.The usual fears, " an old company", " old technology ", yada yadaÿ yada. Well ORCL went to 120 and split. I am still hopeful that after the first buy out offer we will get into a bidding war for NN,

ÿÿÿÿÿÿ TA. Good luck with your long position. I am starting to question this "takeover thing". Could fall back sharply to 50 day, around 25, quite easily, don't you think?
