I saw that trade and was thinking to myself that $750 to buy 5000 shares could payoff in a monster way! At this stage of the game, who really knows. I've lost so much money this year even another $1000 down the rat hole just makes me sick. Maybe the rest of the market, or at least one of my major holdings, will start to recover so that I might get the courage to buy a few shares in INTT at 25 cents or better. Good luck my friend, I'll be rooting for you!!!! Chris

Interesting trading today, although total money transacted is only $40,000. Any thoughts? Chris

Eric, My guess is we are watching Fidelity finally dumping its position in InTest. If history repeats and their timing is as good as their exit from Astronics (ATRO), this should be great news for INTT holders. FMR was the largest holder in ATRO and just as things were starting to get interesting, they bailed. If memory serves they sold their position below $10 and then were able to watch the stock run north of $50!!! The guys running the FMR small cap funds seem to be morons. Let's hope they are the ones selling INTT into the dirt. Couldn't resit today ... in at $0.15!! Chris PS: did you see Mr. Holt bought some shares on 12/4/08???

RE "Complete idiot, or not? Time will tell, but it was me that bought the 5000 shares at 15 cents at 10:59" We have our answer, and it is "or not" (at least in this example - LOL) INTT today closed over $2.00. My $.15 purchase is up 1,253%. I also had a large share buy in the $.20's. Those 2 buys significantly lowered my average cost which included some buys in the $2's during the decline. I guess I still need to be more careful and respect the old saying about catching the falling knife. BUT.........bottom line is that I now have a nice profit on my entire INTT position after being down huge about a year ago. What a difference a year makes. Best of all, the stock actually trades! At times in the past there were days at a time when it didn't trade. Now there's volume, there's positive momentum, fundamentals have turned positive, and I expect a profit next earnings report. What next? I don't expect a trip straight up, but see no reason why INTT can't get to $3 if they can report a 5 penny "Q" - actually, if "the market" thinks they can report a 5 penny "Q". That could be a couple quarters away. Where's CEB? Haven't seen him post in a while. He should be enjoying this run.
