Thread,
Deswell is not an unknown stock.
The various reports are inconsistent showing 6-13 Funds holding Deswell. Most all of them bought at prices above $15.00, many were buying above $20.00. From the volume and resistance we've seen at the various levels, I think we need a report on current fund holdings, one that's accurate and up to date.
In July there were 19 firms making a market in Deswell. From what I understand, Barington may have sold off and may no longer be a MM for Deswell.
