From the intraday chart, it looks like the last minute drop from 14 1/4 to 13 1/2 was due to a few very small sell blocks of less than 1000 shares. Prior to that, there were several buy blocks of 3K-5K shares. Sorry, I forgot to mention that I lost some money on UCMP. This is a stock that I cannot predict its movement. I bought it when the HP news came out and the stock dropped! So I dumped the stock. I think the number of shares is too small, so it's succeptible (sp?) to manipulation. I think the Street is now favoring outsourcing companies rather than tools companies. Personally, I don't think there is any tool that can replace the human beings, plus the remediated code needs to be tested which is a major source of labor, so that favors companies such as SYNT, IMRS, CBSL, MAST.
