Hello, Eva:

Glad you were able to get some more shares - not sure how much longer that's going to be possible. I don't think it was the little guy's greed factor that caused the runup today, though.

Look at the 1 day chart

:http://www.tscn.com/wsc/timespan.html?TSym=IPMCF?22,9

Buying started in earnest at 11:00 and went until 11:40. Some 120,000 shares traded in those 40 min, most of them between 11:20 and 11:40 and almost all buys. I doubt that a greed mentality among the little guys would have caused such a herd reaction. I think it was more likely an "animal" of one sort or another - either a gorilla adding 100,000 to his position or an Otter doubling up<g>. Even though the apparent trades weren't overly large, I believe that was due to the MM's not being willing to let go of 5000-10000 at a time but only dribbling them out slowly to keep the price going up. Kind of an interesting close, also. In the last few minutes before closing the bid/ask dropped to 6.15/6.19 as one of the MM's was willing to let some go at 6 3/16 even though shortly before there had been some buys at 6.28 and 6.25. Go figure.

FWIW, but glad you got yours

Alan
