Steve:

This is going to sound like a specific stock question, but it's not.

What forces could be/are at work on these incredible weird moving stocks such as KTEL.

KTEL - FOR EXAMPLE - had been steadily drifting downwards since its famous run-up to $30 plus. It reached $8 and change on Wednesday, then KABOOM. It's now at $16.

No news except that Amazon will sell music, but other industry players did not move on this news. STrong insider selling, et cetera.

In general, what are the possible forces that could cause such movement on such types of stocks?

Thanks in advance.

Peter

P.S. Would love to see a Yamner live chat on these sudden movers such as MARG, CFON, ENTD, CCSI and others.

Does anyone know if there is a way to trade indexes? For example, I have been told you can trade spiders (SPY) that basically follow the S&P index. Is there a way to trade other indexes, such as ^DRG, $SOX, or ^IIX?
