Technology Stocks : PSIX up 26.5%, Takeover(?) -- Ignore unavailable to you. Want to Upgrade?

I forgot to add that despite what I see as a troubling inability of Psix to improve their "true" gross margin over the past few years, the stock price can continue to go UP!

After all, it's really hard to know how the Psix story (which is also the story of Internet) will end up.......it may be that the overall bullishness of IP based stocks will do well if it can scale up at this point in the mad rush for "internet gold" even if it may never really get profitable on a standalone basis.

Besides, there is a good chance that some PTT will buy them out at a premium --- probably paying far more than what Psix is worth (as PTT's have known to do in the past!).

So in the short term, Psix investment is not likely to crash as long as the overall IDEX doesn't crash......I sold because I was watching for improvements in their operating gross margin and despite mgmt promises -- it wasn't happening as they continue to bleed heavily. besides, I made 700% return in 1 year and didn't think the extra return was worth the risk -- especially for financially unsound company.

Anyway good luck to you Curtis as well!

I will continue to throw in my two cents worth as I am in the telecom business anyway and have been watching with intrigue as the IP players try to encroach on the PTT turf and vice versa. Should be interesting, next few years!

Lots of bigger block transactions today,
PSIX showing a bit of strength on friday, volume was low, but nice to see the slight gain.

Today, lots of techs/internets down, PSIX holding pat within its range, lots of 1000share trades, 10,000sell, then just a minute ago, saw a 5,000 share buy.

Volume a bit heavier today. Over 100,000 shares traded in last 15-20 min.

regards,
