Spot, I bought mostly because you rarely see a tech company trade below book value (almost 50% below). I don't like APM's future, but people are buying into the whole sector. I think this may be the last day of the short squeeze for APM, but we'll see. APM has a much smaller market cap than most of the other stocks in this sector. As such it can be manipulated, run-up, squeezed much easier. I think that's part of the reason why APM is flying and SEG isn't. Almost half of APM's shares are short. This is purely a short term trading op.
