James and All : today's action on CYI is very suspicious. Everything went 'okay' during the day, but things took a U-turn at 3pm
Since 3pm there has been someone who is DUMPING their shares at the market. Over 40,000 shares have been sold during the day. Around 30,000 shares have been sold ONLY during the last trading hour.

My marketmaker screens for CYI clearly indicate that supportlevel of $2 has COMPLETELY vanished. (this morning aroung 23,000 shares - now 1,000) I have never seen anything so WORSE.
The data as of today's close indicate that it will take about 2,700 shares sold (combined support at $2 AND 1 7/8 !!!!!) to lower the bid to 1 3/4.
Needless to say that most *probably* we will see an opening between 1 3/4 and 1 7/8 tomorrow. (providing that not too many sell orders have been submitted before trading begins). This is really sad.
I think most of the "weak shareholders" have disappeared already, and that the selling of the last days cannot be completely due to tax-loss selling. In this perspective, the selling in the last hour seems like someone anticipates bad news or something and wants to get out at any price. (the first trade - see above - was below the current bid at that time , even though other exchanges than the amex provided enough support)
Even though I cannot imagine what (or why) this "last minute" selloff has triggered, I have a feeling that I have overlooked something looking at the latest financials of this company;
Could it be that motorola has plans of its own that it doesn't want to share with cyi ? (this is the only reason that I can come up with at this moment)
Any comment is allways very welcome and appreciated.
