Michael: If your conversation with the CFO is right, and it certainly agrees with what I've picked up, what we are having is a classic "long squeeze" based on the large number of Tava shares in individual hands, and the probable liquidation of a million share position by a long-time holder. If that holder did liquidate, and sent the trade through the firm it used when it sold a big block last year, we have an explanation. Shorts discover that the shares are coming to market, and take aim at white knuckling the individuals into selling. It's a simple explanation, and simple explanations are often on target.

michael, if the CFO told you that TAVA will "exceed its numbers" ... isn't that illegal insider information? Regards, Bill
