After market trading is often on very low volume, and for this and other reasons is notoriously subject to manipulation. - Especially after a news even, which might be interpreted in different ways.

I.e., you put in two 1000 share orders at increasing prices, then a third 500. Others join in.

Then you unload your 52,500 shares first thing the next morning.

<<It's hard to believe Motorola is up in after hours trading when their total revenue was actually lower than the previous year.>>

It leaves me rather bewildered, Jon. They're partying over an 87% decline in year to year earnings? Seems like people are searching darn hard for a reason to rally (any reason)! ...Tim
