Messman already made his fortune. Hovespian's turn? I've been here for a long time and watched one management team after the other fail miserably.. With no cost options for the execs and other novl innovations this company is always selling shares promising a better future while consistently producing under par performance. I don't think that the rise is due to the fact that people believe that the changes in management will work but that many short positions are being covered to protect profits. (FWIW I own 100 5 puts bought @.05)
