So, if December, is the earliest for substantial news, why did 3M shares trade above the current 5-5.20 band last week, on Wed-Thurs? And why is the trading stuck siliconinvestor.com   and why did the ST TA get screwed this afternoon (damn, I'll be looking for an exit tomorrow...a compromise of  $5, could point to 4.60ish, imo)? Why is Duetsche Bank so intent on hiding their true quantity for sale, and so intent on selling? Who are they matching their sales against, since there isn't a dominant bidder?  Why are they selling into a possible Russell inclusion? investors.com  ….34 biotechs…does DBAB have a copy of the preliminary 3000 list? Hey WTF?!?!? AXYX is already on the list… russell.com  more below… Obviously, I try to watch the charts and the daily trading to (try to) decipher the reason for recent amplified trading activity, but after today, my belief in going long is a little shakier. Also, know that I'm not attacking you, just throwing out some thoughts. For a stock that's not going to give fundamental longs much to eat the next few months, there's an awful lot of shuffling going on.  Does anyone know if DBAB has a previous relationship w/AXYX? ……..most of the previous was written prior to discovering AXYX is  to be added to the RUA.  So, now, I guess the question is really why is DBAB selling into a potential onslaught of funds having to add AXYX to their portfolios. Either the list will be revised, dropping AXYX, or the trading taking place is being carefully orchestrated to convince individuals to sell out. Guess we’ll have to wait ‘til Friday…
