Cisco, All the more reason for NPTH to go up "should" they receive approval. This is their second attempt at obtaining FDA approval. I am really going to stick my neck out on the block here but my gut feel is that with the newest round of info on the CYTC ThinPrep System (which NPTH's system is allegedly not supposed to be able to read, I think the FDA will send NPTH back to the drawing board. It would take almost 15 days for the shorts to cover their position on NPTH (assuming normal average volumes). January is gonna be real interesting. NSIX is really looking like the shake-out victim of this sector. That outstanding short volume is a pretty decent percentage of their outstanding float isn't it? NSIX better look at acquiring/merge with another near-player in the sector should NPTH receive approval. Perhaps one that has multiple product lines and is presently near a fifty-two week low. Do any companies like this come to mind? ACMI can be recovered by short sellers in less than 2.5 hours. The NASDAQ M/M site has been updated to include November. Refresh your screen when you pull it up. Perhaps you saved it with the the old data defaulting onto the screen. nasdaqtrader.com Frank
