Ross,
As a fellow stockholder of Amati, I also would like to see a "positive" spin coming from DJ. However, DJ is usually very conservative and they are always going to cast a skeptical eye on smaller companies with little/no earnings.
Yes, positive press will tend to keep the stock price up, but its kind of like that trick I've seen people do where they are able to keep a ping pong ball aloft in mid-air by continually blowing air at a constant rate. Blow too hard and the ball flies up, but out of control, then crashes to the ground. Don't blow hard enough, the ball comes down and hits you in the face as well. The same as the ping pong ball, its almost impossible to maintain a stable stock price when there is no real support other than the story itself and press releases(basically air from someone's mouth if you get my drift). If you're a LT investor and believe the story, then you shouldn't be worrying about these short-term flucuations anyway. If you're a trader, why should you expect DJ to be doing you favors by giving a positive spin.
Long a few thousand shares and hoping for a rally (based on a fat contract no less),
