jean, Count on me for accurate information? Who do you think I am....David? OK.....it means a big gap up......but you had better hope for Microsoft to punch our ticket somehow....or an analyst saying something. My posts today have been good....but not 6 points good. I'm not even turning my computer on tomorrow, Jean. I'm going to a secret high level Commission meeting....to be held in a secret location.... I may check at the "turn".......and the closing numbers....however. <g> bg ps. "turn" is a secret Commission word.

Business Wire Release Jean, This may have something to do with it..... biz.yahoo.com And I guess it makes it more clear that government agencies can now just dial up the products and software. It is also linked to Microsoft. I don't think IDX ever traded at $23 today....so that must be an error. Maybe tomorrow. bg

jean, I believe the wide spread may be for aftermarket quotes on another market such as instinet. The AMEX specialist who controls the primary market during the day opens the stock by matching up all of the buy and sell orders at the open at the fairest price to all open orders reflected. The stock has been gapping up from the close over the last few days showing a lot of buying interest at the open, overcoming the amount of stock available for sale. To fill all orders at the open the specialist may have to go long or short the stock from his own account. Tuesday's walkdown in the last 10 minutes of trading was a classic pressure move to entice panic selling by showing a large amount of stock on the offer and little to buy. Small prints at the bid and rapid dropping of the offer IMHO was an attempt to shake out some shares to balance the book. Dave
