Robert, my sentiments exactly. The SEC made a big splash w/ its indictments against reputed organized crime figures. Now obviously no one's going to complain about stopping organized crime and/or securities fraud.

However, if you look at it purely in dollar terms (and you make the assumption that yes, those run-ups on Monday were just a little too weird, even for a day when the techs were rallying), we're probably talking more than the combined market caps of all the other 19 Naz stocks reportedly under investigation (assuming the avg. cap is under $100 mil.):

ALTR
Monday up $458 million
Tuesday down $1.03 billion
Two-day swing $1.487 billion

XLNX
Monday up $478 million
Tuesday down $529 million
Two-day swing $1 billion

So right there you're looking at $2.5 billion.

Obviously "things looking fishy" doesn't prove any wrong-doing, but you'd think that at least someone would ask a question or two about that type of activity.

Good trading,

Tom
