Jane, there are three levels of software that track the market: Level I -- real time quotes. We all have access to that on the Net. Level II -- shows bid and asked price from all market makers in a stock. You can get it, but it typically costs 3-500 per month. Level III -- shows actual MM trading logs -- who was on what side of a transaction. Only active Market Makers can get this. If you are skillful, you can read Level II between the lines of Level I. Further, you can deduce a lot of Level III from what you see on Level II. We know about the Frankel MM short from tracing activity over the last couple of weeks on Level II. We estimate that his short position increased by about 40,000 shares today, since about 125,000 of the shares traded were buys above 1.30, and only 40,000 were sells below 1.30. The difference is 85,000 -- but since almost every trade is counted twice (once when it goes from an MM to you, and another time when the MM's settle among themselves), we figure the short interest increased by about half of 85,000, which is 40,000 shares. Even on Level I, you can often see the inter-MM trades crossing. Typically, they take place at neither the bid nor the asked price. When you see tiny lots (say 100 shares) crossing at odd prices, you know that MM market-rigging is going on. Ask yourself: what real investor would pay commissions to trade $100 worth of stock? Another clue to MM activity that you can see on level I is big lots crossing below the bid. This shows MM's helping one another to cover shorts. Sometimes they help each other, sometimes they don't. Frankel is trying to drive down the price of ALYA because he can't get stock from other MM's, and so he's trying to shake it loose from you. There are many other tricks that MM's use, but it would be too long to talk about them all here. Your broker friend who used to be in the business can tell you all about them, if he feels like it. MM's must show $2.50 cash capital in their accounts at the end of the month for every share they are short. Frankel is betting on the legendary impatience of Internet investors, and figures that since it's only June 12, he can shake enough shares loose to cover before then. He certainly would not like to keep over 1/4 of a million dollars tied up in July, so if we don't let him shake us, he will just have to bite the bullet and cover his $30-40,000 paper loss by buying shares on the open market, and helping to push the price up some more. All of these figures are educated guesses. But it will give you some idea of the dynamics involved. Welcome to the wonderful world of the short squeeze. Best way to defeat shortie MM's is to hold. If weak hands other than yours give in, buy more on dips. Or else, throw in the towel, and go chase Instant Nothing Co. on some other thread. I'll miss Lamar -- I had sort of come to like him, but I guess his wife won the argument. He got his 46% -- by coincidence, exactly what I made on DGIV (net of commissions) when I held it from .50 to .75. As I've said before, I'm not making that mistake again on ALYA.

People! ALYA released two HUGE news releases today and anyone who isn't seeing the pattern developing with this company is missing the big picture. Yes it's extremely fustrating having the stock pounced on every time we test the upper resistance levels but this is very temporary. The shorter is panicking bigtime right now and is scrambling for his (financial) life. He is digging himself deeper and deeper in the hole and will be forced to cover his growing short position very soon. This company is absolutely solid and growing at a crazy pace. I've personally never had the chance to be involved in the begining stages of company that will become an industry leader in the near future. They just announced and $800,000 contract people. Look at the last financials and imagine the addition of this contract. Now add a few more of these contracts and you will see a glimpse of the upcoming quarters financials. This company is going to bring in profit right away! How many of you are in a company that can promise increasing revenues and profits in each successive quarter? Are any of them @ $1.30? Now in response to the addition of World Vision Financial. Everyone who knows me can attest that I am a very honest person by nature and by profession. So believe me when I tell you that I am even more excited about the addition of World Vision than I am about this huge contract. These guys are powerful. These guys are world famous. These guys are on an incredible roll. For instance lets look at the last (and present) stock they were involved with. Press on the following link then come back to this message: stockmaster.com They were involved with DGIV at about the same level as ALYA is sitting at right now. DGIV came from about the same 52wk low as ALYA has come from this year. DGIV with World Vision on board went on to a high of $8 in a matter of WEEKS! They have incredible exposure in the US. They know all the right brokers, investors, and media. Plus they have investors who have just made a ton of money on their other stock who have just found out today that World Vision is behind a new tech company. That company is ALYA. When World Vision starts to bring in the buying and starts widening the exposure of ALYA to the world...watch out! This is going to happen right away people. Combine that with more incredible news out of ALYA that will be coming out next week and we have a MAJOR short squeeze. Our little shorter is in trouble I'd say. I'm buying more on Monday. Essam. PS: I have never met, talked, or had any exposure to World Vision in my life. These thoughts are based on dd alone.
