Stefaan,

sometimes smart money knows things in advance

That certainly is possible. However, historically in PCYC there have always been wild unexplained swings that did not subsequently correlate with good/bad news. I suspect most of these have been institutions lumbering in and out of the stock.

This volatility is compounded by the shorts - Sturza (this may not be current) and Avalon both have short recs. on PCYC. Avalon in particular had excruciatingly bad timing on this one, with their "sell" coming on 4/20/00 with the stock in the low 30's.

We've had a similar sharp run up over a comparable time frame in another of my holdings - CVTX. Here again no news, and also coming after a sharp decline.

Peter

P.S. Not that I wouldn't prefer your explanation, of course <g>.
