Check this out:

tscn.com

See the section under the chart--shows BAANF is poised for a positive breakout.

Now check this out:

viwes.com

BAANF has a short position vs. average daily volume ratio of 28.46--by far the highest ratio of any NASDAQ stock (which is saying a lot).

I think this is a short squeeze in the making. I think the short sellers were hoping Baan would go bankrupt--but the recent earnings report indicates that Baan will not. At some point, the shorts will have to cover, and I think institutions and others will force the issue very soon by buying shares, fast.

I would not say this is a long-term play (the revenue recognition crap is very troubling, but it helps if the Baan brothers are truly out of the picture--now the company should consider a name change), but as a short-term, gap up kinda thing, it could actually work.

BTW, I am not short or long this stock, nor do I intend to be. I'm too chicken to actually invest my money in this stock. I'm just curious as to whether I am right. Obviously, all the forward looking caveats apply. We shall see...

Best regards, Otter
