In a typically PLAT contrarian way... I view this as a good thing. I was away from the desk today, or I might have been tempted to sell a bit at the peak around 9:40am. But, I never saw it happen, so I didn't. What I mean by good is this: the weak holders who have struggled through the last few weeks of ups and downs (more downs), suddenly were presented with an opportunity to unload. The stock went to 27 11/16th at 10 minutes past opening time. Of course there was a temptation to sell ( a quick 1 5/8 point gain on the upgrade). Now that we have closed down, albeit mildly on a -28 point NASDAQ day, we have shaken a few more loose holders out of the woodwork. Eventually the selling will dry up, and the committed holders will continue to hold. To 35 and beyond... Regards, Dave PS - I've never corresponded with you on SI, but knew a person with the same initials (SAF) fairly well about 12 years ago. You wouldn't have worked for Arthur Andersen during the 83-88 period, would you? Apologies in advance to the thread. D
