Oniva IPO has been set. The squeeze I was waiting for is finally here. Very difficult to predict how high it will go. It could stop in a day, it could go on for 5 days. ICGE's history says that the fifth day of the squeeze is usually the final one. The nest 4 trading days should be very positive. If the market cooperates, it could go up an average of 20 points for the next 4 days. That would put it squarely against its all time high. FOr ICGE to go beyond that in the short term would be difficult unless there are couple of more IPO's announced soon.
