Broadcom got added two weeks ago
went from 185 to 240
last autumn Yahoo got added
went from 270 to 400 or something stupid
several other low float examples similar to this

last year HewleyPackard got added
didnt go up all that much, probably already owned by institutions

then in 1999 summer QCOM got added
but they decided to float an additional 7 million shares to ease the buyers' pressure
and screw option holders like me and several buddies
then again, except for Nov-Dec99, QCOM has screwed everyone

probably means 10-15% to the stock, who knows?
my ultimate conclusion is that entry attracts hotmoney
and that hotmoney sooner or later finds the door
but afterwards entry means more stability from institutional ownership
their presence represents the total opposite of hotmoney
