When did the IBD article appear? Three weeks ago (7/25)?

It looks like some dumb reporter just sat down in a room with
the SYSF PR machine and took notes.

SYSF primarily driven by engineers?

Was this article in the IBD section that often reports companies
that have had a huge price runup and are trying to get some
final momentum before their stock crashes?

I remember following a company about the same size called
Hummingbird Communications (HUMCF) that was reported in IBD.
I bought, esp. when I heard that a famous money manager had just
added it to his portfolio (a successful momentum investor). Of
course all the other big momentum players had already added it,
kind of like what has probably happened with SYSF. The IBD
article didn't come out at the very top, but pretty close.

I sound negative on SYSF, only because I truly believe Phoenix
is a better company and investors haven't seen this and it is
frustrating to me to get badgered every day when I know I'm on
track fundamentally. If I was using a technical approach, like I
used near the beginning of the year, I would have owned SYSF
and not PTEC. If I was looking at PTEC now technically (and not
fundamentally), I probably wouldn't buy until it goes through 19 or20.
Otherwise, how do you know if it has broken out of its $15-20
trading range (I believe somewhere just over $19 breaks a short
term down trend range). Fundamentally, I'd buy it anytime up until
about $30 (unless some more good news comes out).
