''You are seeing a containment of interest rates that is supportive of the equity market,'' said Joseph Battipaglia, chief investment officer of Gruntal & Co. ''Whenever we come to an important number like today's, you will see this kind of reaction, when the bond market once again rallies and the stock market moves even higher.'' Mr. Battipaglia said another reason for the sharp rise in stock prices was the waning of fears of computer problems linked to the year 2000. The problems have not yet materialized, he said, and investors are piling into computer-related shares in anticipation of even stronger gains next year.

ISLD was a recent sympathy play to AKAM and a stock this whole thread played. Now stop asking questions and start watching so you can LEARN, obviously you need to!

There are a number of plays that are a consequence of an IPO. To name a few: 1. Similar companies 2. End of the quiet period 3. End of the lock up period or other reason for selling 4. Back door plays when the IPO is partially owned by another firm Are these plays a sure thing? Certinly not. But many traders are checking these types of plays at every opportunity. They frequently work well.

Pammaji, RHAT came out in August. I bought ADSP as a Linux sympathy play and doubled it. This was the post that started it. Mike and Jason woke everyone up on the thread. Message 11104369 The next several posts show the excitement as it doubled. Having seen sympathy plays work, I see NPTL as one. Not sure why it dropped from Friday's high of $7.50 so I'll stay out. The key was to get at $4 not $6. Jack
