Actually, you both claim to be up a lot on ASTN; the success of your respective strategies are not mutually exclusive except that his upside is unlimited and yours is capped at 100% of your capital at stake, but you know that. Here's the question, and I quote ("one sentence"): <<<<When the process of integrating national clearing agents and their customers is completed, expected very shortly, and eVWAP launches in earnest, with high volume trading, will it affect your view of ATG and eVWAP if Fidelity, or other mutual funds of a similar magnitude, make it known that they intend to utilize the system?>>>> Really, Auric, with the Gomez IPO on the horizon, and the signing of 60 institutions to use eVWAP, with Thomas Kernagan and Sungard on board, with Merrill clearing trades, etc., etc., etc., your "l'il go to zero" hypothesis looks, shall I say, less than sincere. Do you just trash stocks this way at opportune times, and walk away with 10-20%, or do you actually believe the nonsense that you write? I really am curious, since you do seem to have a brain, and I don't doubt that you are good at what you do, but your methods are so horribly suspect.
