Al, I news usually comes from small companies that, ultimately, don't perform. That seems to be part of the game. The question is, were other reports mainly hype, for were they later showed to be forthright in nature? What about the $ 2.5 mil deal and the BIG buyer? They didn't announce who it was at first (fishy), and it later was a disappointment. To keep these stocks up, good-sounding news keeps being pumped up. I'd probably buy (and then sell) on a bogus, but good sounding annoucment, since I know eveyone is excited about this company and it would probably go up. The MM's would probably milk it by making it rise really fast but selling shares which they don't have in inventory. Why? So they can then ride it back down when the news excitement fizzles, and buy the shares back cheaper (that's how MM's short). FTEL, to me, at this time is a trading stock. But then again, I'm not up 10 fold on this one, so maybe you should listen to others. VALUESPEC valuespec.com
