Hi TM, On ALYD, assuming that your suppositions are indeed fact, I'm in agreement; however, regardless of facts or assumptions, the stock price is dependent entirely on the street's interpretation of their revenues, contracts, management changes, etc. They could take over the world tomorrow, but if The Street isn't excited about that, then no dice. The recent [excellent] earnings announcement did nothing for the share price. The many contracts they've secured in the past were known at the time that earnings were released as well. We all realize that there will be more contracts coming. So again, statements of fact mean nothing to the shareholders unless the stock price reflects those facts in its valuation. That's all I'm pointing out. I'm not debating ALYD's merits; far from it. I am a shareholder myself as you all know. I would not have hung on this long if I thought they would end up being a terrible disappointment. I'm simply saying that I try not to buy and sell stocks emotionally, regardless of how good the "facts" or "rumors" may seem to be. I posted what I saw on the chart. The recent turnaround of the stock as of Friday's close was not on a substantial volume. Greater momentum will be needed if ALYD is to move to the next support/resistance range. Now, I'd like nothing better than for that to happen. I'm just not going to get all excited about ALYD being up a couple points on a so-so volume, and I wanted to caution everyone in case it turns out to be another failed rally. No question that these ups and downs could be traded as some have done on the thread - that is the wise thing to do; take advantage of others' emotions that effect a point or two swing in the price for a quick entry and exit is definitely the way to go. Cha-ching! :) I'm not speaking to this sort of play, however. I do hope that this week will be the week for ALYD to rock. If so, we will all benefit. If not, we can reevaluate the chart on the inevitable pullback should this rally not hold, and even continue trading the little blips up and down until things do eventually pan out as they should. Just my opinions, of course. Not stating any facts here. ;) And insofar as your comment: <<When Clinton calls for mobilization of Y2K assets at year end will you be an emotional shareholder? <ggg> Just wondering,>> All I can say is that I am an emotional shareholder even now, but that's because I'm an emotional person. It's my personality and also what I hear from those who know me. But, that emotion has nothing to do with stocks, nor should it have any place in my investing strategies, IMHO. Celebrating after the fact is kewl. Getting all excited beforehand is not exactly the best way for me to spend my time nor emotions these days. <ggg> I respect your abilities and your opinions, as I do many on this thrad, and I wish you all the best, Tech Master. :) Emotionally Yours <gggg>, V.

AV--I hope you are right TM. Based on the slow recovery of ALYD and signs of life, I am pushing the auto-exit target to $20 for the time being. I like the story but, as Vicki pointed out, impatience sometimes creates an aura of negativity. ALYD seems to have good stuff to share but it goes unanswered and unnoticed. Someone speculated that the recent reversal was due to them not meeting a whisper number of $10.5-$11 last quarter causing some owners of size to give them a "fanny whacking". Andrew
