To one and all: You are right. It probably is just the Market Makers manipulating things for a few extra bucks for Christmas. Of course, for subscribers to the Techlist, there was a news release today from IAS. I suppose they will publish it soon, on their Web site, but nobody needs to pay any attention to it, since is is probably just hype. The news release says, in essence, that they have drawn up a working agreement with some professors at Stanford University, to evaluate their technology and/or ideas. The news release includes some statements from a Stanford University Professor which seem cautiously optimistic. Some people believe that this information is the cause for the recent price rise, but that makes no sense at all to me. WHO is buying remains to be seen. It probably is just some old homeless Joes who are kicking in their last 50 cents rather than waste it on cheap wine. After all, 'You know how persuasive Neldon can be.' Some deluded fool from the Stanford University EE Department even said, "I have read the intriguing material you have supplied from IAS and talked at some length with Neldon Johnson. I can see how the basic premises of Shannon's limits might be bypassed to achieve better than commonly accepted performance." I mean, the guy CAN'T be serious. We have no less a respected opinion than that of our own Paul McGinniss that such a thing is just impossible. I think I will just go to sleep and check back on this stock next year. Maybe by then everyone will have come to their senses and realized that it is just smoke and mirrors, and the price will be back down to it's natural level of 20 cents. Then I will be able to buy some more. It is cheaper than buying wallpaper. -=- Fred Civish
