The thing buoying STMP right now is their acquisition of IShip. It appears to relate to STMP in some way, yet it's hard to figure out exactly how the integration of the two would work. Thus there is uncertainty and for some reason stocks like STMP thrive on uncertainty. Stocks like STMP, ZIXI, and others can only thrive on uncertainty because if things were certain, they would go to hell. It's my piece of crap in a cardboard box example again. If Monty Hall asked you if you were willing to trade $1000 for a piece of crap, you would say "no"; If Monty Hall asked you if you were willing to trade $1000 for a cardboard box, your answer may be unpredictable. Stocks like STMP, ZIXI, XLA, ICCSA, etc. can only thrive if the cardboard box remains unopened. Open the cardboard box and Monty is out of business.
