Hello... new here. I held MRVC some time ago. It's been overbought and, perhaps now, oversold. Nevertheless, it's been played out for most "investors" looking for large, short term gains. MRVC may claw its way up to $40 a share someday - for those patient enough to wait another 18 months; then fall back again as it's all part of the game. Presently, MRVC appears to be a growing company in a growing field. Sound and solid. Ciao, Marty

WD, I agree. I never heard a Gruntal downgrade. As recently as May, I read a business week article that a guy there (Indian name, I think) LOVES the stock. And so does Battipaglia. Let's find out if he can product a reference for this. I'd be very suprised...

Sorry to bear the unwelcome news but check Zack's and you will see institutional holdings have dropped w/4 strong Buys and 1 Hold. Check WSJ for Gruntal news... WSJ dated 6/19, I noticed Zack's change before vacation a week or two ago, when I returned it showed up on my Personal Journal search. Any folks out there care to back this up? It has since scrolled off so I cannot cut & paste. I will double check since the item appeared and disappeared, but to me the recent stock behavior makes this unsprising to me to a certain extent. TIA eric
