I was introduced to LIOX by a post here made by Kaliico:

Message 11088373

This post has a link to a LIOX thread on SI that mentions some exciting possibilities for opportunity, not the least of which is a tiny float (3.5M). Started trading 8/20, therefore quiet period will be ending soon.

thread link: Subject 30235

Text of thread intro:
Borrowed this from Hoovers:

Lionbridge Technologies gives multinational corporations
a dash of local color. The Internet services company
caters to hardware, software, and telecommunications
firms that release products internationally, translating
programs, Web support sites, and other Internet
documentation into a specific country's native tongue.
Lionbridge also offers multilingual product testing, source
code reengineering, and logo certification. Customers
include IBM (14% of sales), Microsoft, Oracle, and Sun
Microsystems. Lionbridge continues to expand into
automotive, medical equipment, and other vertical
markets. Morgan Stanley Dean Witter owns 33% of
Lionbridge; venture capitalist Advent International owns
31%.


I bought a little high, but sold this morning and then rebought, wiping out my paper loss. I think after the QP ends, this could easily easily double - even just based on the low float alone.

Just a start...
