I'm looking at it from the short side, mostly based on what I see in: -ongoing insider selling -increased news release activity which could (and may)decline again. -meager top line ($11 MM Q revenue, nearly $1.2B market cap nondiluted) -"compensation" for revenue (cash, stock based?) almost offsetting the revenues (refer to the latest 10-Q, see beyond *1) -assumed hedging requirement by Apollo -Comdex ending.
Besides that, RRRR "incubates", and quickly turns their Apollo cash into goodwill. As elsewhere said, jumping CMGI, and also ICGE which grew way ahead of CMGI lets look smaller "incubators", like WCAP and RRRR comparably cheap.
Also the options coverage (RRRR has traded options now) tends to stabilize things here a bit.
