Good action on API yesterday afternoon. Looking for some follow-up. Likewise WKGP, mentioned by Kimberly a few weeks ago.

INPH-Interesting post regarding institutional ownership and it's effect on price. "Why INPH released negative news 3 hours after 5 point runup Here is the very plausible reason why INPH choose to release negative news last week 3 hours after INPH had a five point plus run up. It is negative in the short run but VERY bullish in the long run. Follow me on this with an open mind if your are not privy to institutional investing. We all know that INPH has been receiving institutional interest over the last few weeks as many fund managers also recognize the low price to sales relative to the competition and relative to the industry growth rates....these are undisputable facts. We all also know that INPH is looking to diffuse the volatility component inherent with its stock. One easy way to do this (reduce the volatility) is to get increased institutional support from fund managers. BUT these fund managers EXPECT to get in at a low price for the security and stablity they will provide for your small cap company. So a unwritten agreement is devised between management and the fund managers.....you as the company's management provide a window of opportunity for me to get my firms money invested in your company AT THE LOWEST POSSIBLE PRICE and I in turn will be a buyer of your stock and provide support at certain levels to provide you with the consistency you need to hold more shareholders and build an even stronger base. Thus a unwritten deal is made and if the stock gets TOO Strong before the funds can get in place management immediately knocks it back with a timely press release on the negative side. This happens every day my friends in the world of small cap investing. Throw in a little insider selling and the whole picture is painted perfectly to entice short sellers...lets roll a little more shall we. Unfortunately the small investor takes it in the face during these weak periods. But ill minded shorts do not readily perceive managements REAL intentions and by the time they realize that the weakness was very well orchestrated their postions are the ones that are really going to fuel the fund managers returns .....who got in low ( with managements help !!) Please understand that company will NOT release any POSITIVE NEWS during this period because that would screw the very fund managers we are trying to get in at a low price. But once they are in....if the small investor can wait that long he will be rewarded as the orchestrated weakness then turns into strenght and the short is sucked in then destroyed as then fund managers squeeze them to provide the start of the runup....then momentum takes over from there. Welcome to the street my friends this is how it is played out in the small cap arena. Do not leave INPH now...it's still early in this game." insidertrader.com
