...well, it did trade 12k today and POW's are only deleted from the Top Gainer's List on the one specific day when the stock trades less than 5k shares - so you're #1 spot still holds :) it was very magnanimous of you to point out the possible vol. problem - now that's integrity ! ...but, I can only keep track of one day's volume per POW - so, a stock may trade 10k one day and 2k the next and it will only be deleted on the 2k day. If ESYG traded less than 5k today it would have been deleted from the weekly results list. I know this isn't the most efficient way of keeping score, but it's the best I can do for now. Also, I can't do much on the spreads. The only possible solution I can think of would be to raise the min. daily trading volume to 50k and increase the min. price per POW to $1 (it wouldn't solve the problem completely, but it would help eliminate [what appears to be] huge percentage moves when the stock is only flitting between the bid and the ask on a daily basis). All your points are well-taken and I appreciate your input. I'm just mulling over all the possible options to make sure it's fair to everyone. tks for the heads-up ! neil
