Last.. funny you say that. I get broker calls all the time saying buy this or buy that. Last one was CPQ @ $35 :) I ALWAYS short/puts when I get those calls as it is the best possible predictor I have. I love those "cold calls". Joe PTG&LI !!!

Last, got a clue why QNTM was up today after a warning of earning shortfall? Thanks in advance.

ALERT WATCH APM! Short busters have entered the building. Either that or someone betting big bucks in SELLING PUTS that there will be a take over or that they can accumulate enough shares to keep the price above 15 for MAR ATLEAST prob longer.. Didnt think much of it till I looked at the time/sales/chart and saw all the 1000's of MAR 15's were sells.. The weird thing is why didnt they buy the calls? Only thing I can think off is they didnt want to alert anyone, didnt want the OS to buy the shares which would have pushed up the price and wants to collect all the shares they can get. Tomorrow will tell the tale but its worth watching closely the accumulations. Maybe joe's dog has something to say.. PS I dont have any position in APM currently.. Its a dog that has more fleas than a mutt.. And the way it is, If its got one flee, they would have to get it a flea each q.
