"I have a theory that a lot of amateurs rush in to short or buy puts on these stocks on the following Monday and they end up getting spanked.",

Bill, I'll buy into your theory and will watch the action in NSOL from the sidelines for now. Thanks.

Gary

Bill, The Zitel squeeze to $72 was very intersting in that it was in part caused by shorts, not covering, but boxing with long positions which they then dumped at $60+. I think something similar happened with KTEL. Stupid me covered instead of boxed on KTEL and then couldn't get short when it crashed, still crying over that one.
