Hmm... ERICY closed at $40 today, and I notice a 120K block at $39 13/16 in after hours trading. In Stockholm the analysts expect another great Q, and as a matter of fact swedish TV quoted "Wall St leak of better than expected earnings" as contributing to todays action. Well... seems to me that we might see a good report, but the ETSI standards meeting has more long term relevance in my eyes. If ERICY & NOKA wins, as seems very likely - the future prospects improve from great to even better. Barring nasty surprises* I belive we just might se a small rally into thursday and perhaps even after. *Such as I got when I went _very_ long on advance info on their last Q, which indeed turned out to be better than expected when it was released on october 23 last year... :-( /Sverre
