What an interesting week. I am not sure that I buy into this short thing but, who knows. It will be interesting to see what the shorts are at the end of the month. Was 33,000 end of last month, if I'm not mistaken. May be as simple as people knowing that Q4 is the best quarter of the year and with no news exspected out for 3 more months and what was 1700%+ profits in a year, the temptation for some may have feed into some less ratioal selling. Through in some selling from a trust for 150,000 sh. MAYBE. Today being when options come due and a lot of people rolling theirs up, as I did, and top it all off with overall market conditions. It may be less cynical then what is assumed. Doesn't matter AS MUCH if you are a long term holder. If it is shorting action hat did this, there is an obveious up side that may not be far away. So we're back where we were 4 weeks ago on a lot lower PE and even greater information on where the company is focused on going in 1998. I can live with that.

FWIW, from the $14 and up range, today makes about 8,800,000 NASDAQ shares or about 4,400,000 common shares traded. If the 150,000 trust shares were traded, that makes the float about 6,550,000 with the info I have. |
