Hi Jon; Yes I was saying some of the same thing , it trades almost in step with WDC , SEG, QNTM, it's a sector thing. In my normal way of handicapping them , I would look at the short interest in them all, I haven't had time, as I've been busy with other stuff, just bumped into this thing scaning for hi short interest..a window shopping thingy. Don't want to give the inpression I know much about her, as I don't, but she is on my radar screen now. Were I did not check the bid/ask yesterday on the others, I could see that with APM she was being shorted again, not heavy as the shorts were only willing at 12-1/16 and 12-1/8, but there were enough asks at that point to know it was not people justv trying to sell, as the spread seemed to large at the time for real sellers. All that's just seat ofg the pants stuff, based on the general trend of how over time I've noticed most shorted stocks bid/ask and spread with more spread and a big ask/to bid ratio, when they are being shorted, were when they are being actully sold the ask size may be more than the bid size, but the spread gets smaller. This may have been with thoes others as well, I never took time to look. Jim
