>> were you not paying attention to AG? I expected the move to happen Tuesday.<< Hi John No, guess I wasn't. But I can clearly see who was....! :-) And did bank stocks (I was only watching FTU) ever resurrect! Oh, yes... I see TAVA didn't participate (not surprisingly) in the 'tech rally' last wk. At least our HDIE managed to claw its way back up almost 18%, but the earnings run-up ain't happenin' or else its gonna happen Mon-Tues. I have a question about MOKE as a market maker & Morgan Keegan as a promoter of HDIE. We all know Morgan Keegan follows HDIE, maintains a 'strong buy' recommendation, and publishes occasional glowing reports. Why does the same company, in a market making capacity, seem to participate in keeping the price of the stock down? Down as much as it is from what it generally averaged at 1 month ago. I read earlier that there were several market makers in HDIE. So Moke is one of many. However, are they not the lead underwriter? Don't they sort of set the pace? (at least as much as one can despite the goings-on in the rest of the market & world). Since some on this thread have conjectured that the MMs are playing games with the stock price, I just wanted to take that 1 step further & ask why don't they (the MMs) take more of a stand in driving UP the price of the stock, rather than what appears to be the opposite approach? Morgan Keegan MMs and Morgan Keegan HDIE analysts obviously have different agendas. And this is the part I want to understand better.
