52 weeks high was about $20, and their fair value should be $30? I don't think so.

I'm just describing what I saw on Level II. My previous post was an answer to Max90, who was asking what the value of the stock would be for a takeover. Robertson Stephenson is a much better analysist firm than any of us and they say $30 in a year. I have not heard any substantiated rumors. More like "lack of rumors". All I have done was post to this thread what I saw happen on Friday near close. It was amazing! That kind of instantaneous volume and uptick doesn't occur without substantial reasoning from the buyer. I would just like to know very soon why the incredible buying by Volpe - after he had been SELLING for two days and downgraded the stock. What turned Volpe into an instant buyer at any price? We'll just have to wait and see what develops. If this was a pump and dump, who was pumping? I can't identify any group who was pumping for the dumping. It was more like Volpe was downgrading and dumping, then he instantly turned into a buyer. They're the facts as I saw them. I would be in favor of a gap up, then a run up, then a halt pending buyout announcement. Then a gap open after the halt for a substantial gain. If you decide to short the stock, this is a possibility of what you are up against. I wouldn't wish being short in this situation upon anyone. Another way to play this would be to buy option Calls.
