Jim and all - The actions of the last two days are a no brainer for the policemen at the SEC. I'd just like to enusre that as many of us as possible phone them first thing this morning. If nothing else I would like the SEC to get in touch with the company today. Where we have been unable to get much infirmation from them I feel sure that the SEC will have a little more success. L

The 40 % run up was not natural, it was due to the news releases put out by SNDK on the 16th and 17th... Do you think anyone in the world is naive enough to believe that the details of yesterday's announcement were not known prior to those releases. How do you account for the 450 July 17 1/2 put contracts that traded yesterday (Nearly 40 times the open interest prior to that day)? I think the news on the 16th and 17th was a calculated move by SNDK to give certain privelaged shareholders a chance to get out while those that bought on the news get caught holding the bag. In my message 3318 I did say that those Puts were suspicious. I am maybe a bit naive indeed. I thought that the company would maybe do this hyping for shareholders in general. You know, the stock was trading at 14.125 last Friday on June 12. Had the company preannounced at that time the stock would be at $10 or below. Sounds naive, but you know, I am here for the same purpose as everybody : learning!
