>> am looking for coms to test 26 today.<<

This will have to be at last part of day. I'm
starting to be believe strongly that there are very
short term shorts on this stock. They are probably
happy with a 1/4 - 1/2 a pt and bail out near
resistance. No big buyers for a while, which are
messing up their plans, and even if there are, the strong
buying doesn't continue for long periods of time, so
COMS ultimately drifts down.

Hopefully, this will be offset by a little stronger
buying by institutions, less float (hopefully), and
shorts are afraid of that $25 resistance. Shorts
will be testing the limits of all of this little by little to
see how much they can push it.

Actually I think the run-up this morning was just people covering their shorts. I'm also hoping it test 26 today but it seems to me the MM's don't want the stock to go too much above 25 1/2. There are still alot of short selling going on. 25 1/4 seems to be a support level
