Robert: Thanks for your input and thoughts on the situation. I'll go over my history with ALYD. I traded (long) in and out probably 5 times between 10 and 14, all for profitable transactions. Then, I left the stock alone for a while, and got suckered in by the "NASDAQ Listing" promises and bought in long at a much too high level. It proceeded to erode to almost 1/2 of what I paid for it. I sold out half of that position a couple of months ago to invest in other "stuff", and recently sold out the rest because of the new downward momentum. The unfortunate part is that I held on for long term gains. I would have been far more successful to continue trading. There was somebody else on this thread once who was promoting that concept. I didn't much care for the interpersonal crap that went on, but I certainly appreciated hearing both sides of the story. Live and learn, I guess. You have a very healthy attitude ... It's only money. I agree. Now, please excuse me while I go for my daily Harley ride to clear my thoughts and refresh my zest for life. Catch ya' later, TED

Looks like games are being played with ALYD. Perhaps it's someone trying to manipulate the options. Neither I nor anyone I contact is or knows anyone that is selling. The strange thing, from what I'm told, is that the trades are small. I find it highly unlikely that a bunch of small investors simultaneously decided to sell yesterday, and then, somehow, others bought enough back to get the price to 3/16 of where it started-- to the tune of a whopping 430,000 shares. This is a day-traders dream, or nightmare if you mess up. But without a level II machine I'm just a spectator. - Jeff
