Dave Lord Abbett had 606,000 shares at the end of April. So they increased their position by 400,000 shares over roughly a 3 month period. The weakness in the market might be the retesting of the lows. That would give us a double bottom or "W". It would be bullish if IDX doesn't come close to the low of 7. Another thing that bothers me is why doesn't IDX have a private placement of the Ascom stock instead of doling it out slowly. This has a damping effect on the stock. There is only one reason I can think of why they are doing this. It would tend to keep a large chunk of stock from quickly falling into unfreindly hands. Do you have any ideas on this? Ron
