Radisys showed a very definite trough today relative to the 15 min oscillation MACD (moving average convergence devergence). If I were short, I'd cover at this time. If I didn't own RSYS, I'd buy. Maybe I'll sell something tomorrow and by more RSYS given that its RP line is so strong. If there's no block trade selling into this next upturn, we should be above $50 by earnings. The stock is showing some consolidation which is good, no big sell-off.

The shorts sometimes use 100/200 share trades as bait to lower the price while using puts for the major hold (they go long a few thousand shares and buy puts or sells calls). There are other ways. The spread is to keep them from shorting with too much vigor. It's easy to short a stock with a 1/8th spread because you know you can cover your short in a manner of minutes with a gain if the stock drops $1. It is more difficult to short a stock with a $1 spread as you must determine that the stock price will drop below the lower number for the short to be profitable. something like this. Where are all those RSYS bulls?
