Tim, I have seen what happens when Joe posts. While it's true that many follow his lead, I said that I think there is a strong possibility of a dip not because Joe said the MM's are shorting, but because it seems to me that it's likely the MM's are shorting because of the lower earnings expectations. Sorry, I did not make that clear. I am glad to be aware of this possibility ahead of time, so as to maybe take advantage of it, but it hasn't changed my position on TAVA and it won't. I am long on TAVA and staying that way. Gina

Tim, I'm watching today's action from my broker's office and with his help trying to understand all the screens. So far, seems to be a lot of smaller trades. Still looking for all those shorts. My guess is that Tmex merely posted his thoughts on his website causing some of the sheep to react. stu

<<Whatever it was it made somebody happy... probably TM. >> My thoughts exactly! Any serious investor who would trade on information posted in an online forum (without the necessarily DD to verify) deserves whatever they get... Time to shake out some of the frightened, and pick up the bargains on the fall... I will be surprised if TAVA doesn't show good earnings this Q...actually, if they don't, I believe a good ol' fashioned spanking is due TAVA's mgmt (or project managers)...I know what rates they're billing at (and the approximate costs of the people they're hiring), and I have a good feel for what margins they're making on their core systems integration business...if they can't show profitability in the $0.10 PS range now (with over 400 employees), they sure as heck won't post the numbers people are expecting in the upcoming Q's...don't simply this quarter as "insignificant" - it is VERY significant in terms of gauging their ability to manage to a profitability target... - Rick
