Sorry, Jimmy, no idea. Looks like time for homework and a call to Alan Enbring. Which I intend to get to... Nancy

Jimmy, I have watched Vical for 4 years & have owned for 3 years. It has never been sustainable in the short run. I think if one cares what Vical the stock does each day, you may lose interest in it... Keep in mind what Vical the Company does everyday, and you can probably make it through the short term fluctuations... Just my opinion (however, i don't trade--- just buy & hold), Bill

What happened taday is what I was hoping for, When I checked Zacks today, I noticed that VICL added a new analyst with a strong buy - was 2 strong buys, 2 buys, now three strong, 2 buys. The EPS estimates were not shown as being changed, and there was no press release thaT I can tell (too bad) but the renewed interest was partially attributable to the new analyst coverage I beleive. Technically VICL has broken out of both a intermediate down trend (from Oct 97 peak), and longer term (Nov 96) as well, now that VICL is back in the 16's, another piece of good news would keep it above the trendline, but probably result in additional short covering as well. So to get back to your question, additional analyst was probably the reason for the pop, and if VICL can stay above the trendline, we will probably see the volitility decrease. IMO Scott
