I've seen this before-- A CEO goes to one of these conferences and either pre-announces GOOD earnings (Like what started ASND's rally from the low 21's) or has positive comments about current levels of business activity, and the stock runs-up big. I said it before and I'll say it again--- there's no way that IFMX will preannounce bad earnings after the shocker that they pulled last quarter to the upside. { Especially since they had to restate earnings for the last few years} They're credibility would be shot for years to come and they'll look like scam artists who pulled that crap to boost the stock for their own benefit to rescue it from the $4 mark. Monday and Tuesday will tell the tale about that conference--look for a pre-run-up if positive comments are rumored. BTW-- funny that we keep running up to 7.75 and then fall back late in the day. But 7 looks strong for support. Good Luck, Steve (Had to edit--- Some broad from California sold 10,000 shares on 2/27 wasn't an employee, according to ENS on Compuserve-- Looks like a total non-event, Anyone here about recent INSIDER TRANSACTIONS ??)

Speaking of old timers and who invented what...Chris Date Interview...SQL flawed...see it at: infoworld.com Here's the start of the story: Chris Date, along with Ted Codd, is widely credited with pioneering the relational database model. But Date is highly critical of how vendors have warped his creation over the last twenty years and is issuing dire warnings of potential catastrophic failures. In addition, Date says the SQL language is much too complex and the time has come to replace it with something more viable.
