I was looking at after hours action from last night and saw 4 blocks traded of 30,000 each. They went between 14 15/16 and 15 1/4. Would like to know how and/or why someone is able to trade shares a full 1/2 point below the bid in after hours. I'm just curious as I've never understood after hours trading. Anybody who can enlighten me I would appreciate it.

Thanks,
Scott

SunFun,
Tough question. In general, UP! How far depends on when and how fast they cover. If there is 15% to be covered and it happens in a very shot period, while we are on the pre earnings run, a big difference. After report when the dust has settled, and in 2-5% per week could look more like stability at higer prices with some lighter movement up. Still very good for us and meens the shorts are paying a max for waiting that long instead of doing it now and getting it over with. The train isn't just running over the bastards, it's backing up to see if it killed what it just hit. It's hard to say and requiers a lot of speculation from, what % to, how they will time it. Maybe they short another round at higher levels, trying to avarage where they have to buy back to break even (now their on the track at the cattle crossing if they do), who knows.

SunFun, By the way, where did 15% come from (just hit me). If the float is 8 million plus, 15% is 1.5 million plus. That would be 3 million (or more) in NASDA volume of trades being shown. Are we sure that we are not getting carried away with 15%?
