John, it's always hard to take the plunge when the spread is the way it closed. I suppose one just has to decide to do it if you believe the stock will move. Richard and two other early birds paid the .23 ASK this morning. Now it cost buyers more. And as we get closer to company events, it will cost even more, but at least the spread will tighten somewhat. Leaving out the trades, here's how the price moved during the day: 27. 5:23 8 V 29600 27. 3:54 8 0.200 - 0.312 27. 3:01 8 0.190 - 0.312 27. 2:23 8 0.180 - 0.312 27. 1:28 8 0.170 - 0.312 27. 1:27 8 0.200 - 0.312 27. 1:16 8 0.200 - 0.250 26. 1:52 8 0.170 - 0.230 Peace and good luck to you, too. --Madly

John -- I know how you feel about the spread. If I were you, and wanted to buy some, I'd try putting in a limit order between the spread. No guarantees, of course, but I know of people (including myself) who got filled previously in situations like this. For example, an order to buy at .26 or .27 might work if a MM finds himself with shares he just bought at .20 or .19... or you might find that someone will go on the bid at .21 or .22 to try to induce someone to sell to him, so he could turn around and sell to you. Give it a shot if you don't feel like waiting for the spread to tighten.
