Well, I picked up a few shares at 12.5 last week. That guys post on Yahoo predicting $45 per share sounds great. Would not have believed it until Inktomi went up $25 per share YESTERDAY. Good point about being able to take work later than firms doing manual conversion. tim

Yes, it looks like a classic ALYD zoom, but in an atypical way. Someone PM'd me about how short squeezes work (as I've never really been in the middle of one): The price goes up, say, $1... and a few "mom and pop" investors sell to bring it down 1/8 to 1/4... then we get another $1 rise... and so on. The fewer people that decide to cash in, the more the price stabilizes and the greater the chance that some shorts will decide to cover (buy back the shares they borrowed), which, of course, creates a domino effect as other shorts follow suit. This happens in waves so it should be quite a show (g). - Jeff
