speculative buy recommendation. biz.yahoo.com In the middle of July I had gotten into this... at a little over a buck and a half, in August I bailed at 1 1/4, and this thing proceeded to sag below a buck this past week. But then, magically, a block of 40,000 shares changes hands on Thursday, right in the middle of the day with the market in general being gored again, the dow at a loss of 250 points. But since that trade tgen is suddenly moving up again, from that low around 87 cents, to around $1.05, hmmm. I wouldn't be surprised to find that this nice little move culminates in another 40,000 order--if it were me I'd do it. And sure, wouldn't it be great to have fifty grand in your back pocket, wait for lousy day in the markets, and then cherry pick one of these micro biotechs--then recommend the stock a day later. Then you watch the traders hop on for the ride and sell for a quick gain the next week. Well, this is all just a lot of silly banter on my part, but I will say that if somebody at Miller Tabak Hirsch + Co did the 40k... you got shum splainin' to do looshee. Wish it had been me! Whoever it was, it sure wasn't somebody from over on the yahoo thread, they mainly just bicker at each other and I didn't too much enthusiasm over there when I checked the messages today. eom
