Isn't that always what's happening in a market? <g> Let me begin by saying that I may be dense but I assumed you were just making a whimsical comment rather than saying my theory was completely idiotic (as Tom C seems to imply). Regardless of what Tom C may think of my theory, I was commenting that, based on watching the intraday chart and seeing when trades take place, it appeared to me that buyers of the stock had been picking when to buy very carefully. This has also been on moderate to small volume. This is happening while the stock price seems to be "marking time" waiting for the VSGN issue to be resolved. Look at past Borland performance. When the stock price goes up it has been on much higher volume than recently. I would even suggest that in the past few weeks that much more of Borland stock has traded based on limit orders than is normal for this stock. If so, that would support my theory. Does anyone know if there is a way to find out this information? I was proposing that the current activity was different than "what always happens in a market". Obviously, you don't think the recent activity in Borland's stock has just been business as normal. I disagree.
