I will watch until this runup dies out, too. No reason to get in too early, but I think they are pumping the stock so the convertible holders can short into the wave, then cover with their new shares. Previous short interest was 357K in a 5.7 million float. A bit of pumping probably induced some covering. Should be plenty left to short next week. You may want to repeat your message on Roger's thread and emphasize this is a convertible deal. Roger loves those.

I first saw IVIP mentioned on the Yahoo CFON thread a couple of days ago, in this post from someone who calls him/her self YeOldeFart: messages.yahoo.com@m2.yahoo.com Anyone here want to 'fess up to this?:) Ahem, not that I actually read the Yahoo threads ... just stumbled across it ... we have identical positions at the moment, Barb. It appears to have been seriously manipulated in recent history, if you believe some of the past posts on the Yahoo IVIP thread. Yahoo's "research" link also shows it as having one 'strong buy' recommendation, up from no analyst coverage from the week before. Apparently that's referring to this news release: biz.yahoo.com Glancing over a few of the companies on this list (CCSI, GTAX, ESCI, EPTG, for example), is appears this may be a good place to look for potential shorts. Does anyone know anything about this site, stockup.com ?
