Strange about JMAR, it is the only rat-tech that has moved opposite the market since early Oct.
It is getting very oversold in relation to future nano-tech developments, so by that I would think the snap back will have some power. I have been adding a few every day..
I could be wrong, but bottom fishing sure worked with VTSS STXN NT LU and those CY $5 calls etc...
CITI looks to be a good pick-up for the future, as you described.

Yesterday the Russians launched the biggest communications satellite in history, and they had a problem with the rocket separation, among other things, first thing I thought of was they should have used HSR products....

MOSCOW (AP)--A European communications satellite was lost Tuesday after failing to reach orbit following its launch on a Russian rocket, the Russian space agency said.

The Astra-1K was launched from Russia's launch site at Baikonur, in the Central Asian nation of Kazakhstan, early Tuesday. It reached its preliminary orbit but there was no secondary impulse to accelerate and reach the higher orbit, Konstantin Kreidenko, the agency spokesman, said on Russia's NTV television. He said a faulty Russian-made accelerator bloc was to blame.

The Astra-1K was intended to broadcast radio and television programming and to be used for mobile telephone and Internet connections.

The Astra-1K, manufactured by France's Alcatel Space Corporation for the Societe Europeene des Satellites of Luxembourg, was at 5.25 metric tons the largest communications satellite ever built.

It was intended to replace three Astra satellites now in orbit, broadcasting radio and television programming and being used for mobile telephone and Internet connections.

Kreidenko wouldn't say how much the satellite cost.

He said in a telephone interview that the DM-3 boosting unit was manufactured by RKK Energia, Russia's premier space company, and was frequently used for launching satellites to high, geostationary orbits.

"Until now, it has had a good reputation for safety," Kreidenko said.

Officials have launched an investigation into the reasons for the failure, which weren't immediately known.
