I bought GSPN at 72 1/2 yesterday for a short term trade. On Thursday, DJ reported that ERICY signed a deal with GSPN (see story below), but neither ERICY nor GSPN has officially put out a PR. The IR lady at GSPN didn't know why either. In her normal duty, she edits and distributes PRs to newswires after getting them from the CFO. Turns out the CFO was out but will be back on Monday. If GSPN releases the news, stock may be good for a 10-15pts run in a good market. I'll try to follow up on Monday. Also, if CSCO turns in a good report on Monday (and I expect so), GSPN will run in sympathy. CSCO is GSPN's largest customer, almost half of total sales. Since I probably can't keep a close watch on the market next week, I'll enter GTC sell orders at 82 and 90.
