JOSEPH: Yes, I too can confirm some suspicious activity. Yesterday, as the others, (AMTD<etc.) were flying straight up, NITE seemed to falter a few times, and was temporarily pulled down as soon as it reached 60 1/2. Dropped a point or so, and then rallied back, but it didn't seem to have the momo that the others did. I'm not sure for the reason either, maybe the theory that you buy the rumor and sell the news, although there is a lot more time left for the rumor to take form. Anyway, if so many of us are noticing something, maybe it's there, but then maybe the strength of the market will absorb the sales and make them ultimately affect the stock less.
