Rod I have never seen a pump and dump work this way,myself--also pump and dumps generally be accompanied by hype,if not publicly at least by cold-call pressure selling by scam brokers of shell companies--no,I see no pump and dump--it would be a suicidally risky play by the pumpers--and you do not pump a stock by suddenly buying a million shares at premium price just before and after the close--but it does smack of takeover.If it was one buyer they now own between 8-10% of the float,and per law must be identified within days,but I forget how many days.One wild guess,and GUESS ONLY! is Zapata.Goood Luck,Max

Rod: I seriously doubt Friday's move was a "pump and dump." I usually monitor NEWZ everyday on a Level II, but on Friday I was watching WCAP tank, and I failed to catch the run on NEWZ until the last 5 minutes of the day. There was a lot of buying on this stock (obviously); so much so that I thought NEWZ had been bought out. Yet, no news. My experience is that a 70% jump in a stock's price, in 15 minutes, on no news, in a relatively unknown company, bodes well for shareholders. regards, JS
