Stock might soar on Tuesday. There are only two factors that will affect its price. 1) The 20/20 story could be positive or negative. Indications are that it will be positive, especially if Hugh Downs is doing the coverage.. 20/20 doesnt usually do slam pieces, especially when he knows his audience is the older crowd. If the coverage is neutral to positive, the stock should rise quite a bit on the open tuesday- the story will attach names and faces to this company, and make it more "real" to people than it has been before.. 2) Barrons could come out with a highly negative article over the weekend, slamming the stock and telling everyone how the company wont show any profits from this for years and years, and how its the best short in history. IMO, this is a very likely scenario. I expect it to be a cover story. The question is, will a negative barron's article be cancelled out by the positive 20/20 story? We'll find out soon. I'm long with 10k shares at purchased at 13, for the record.
