Rick, I guess I've just become somewhat skeptical. It wasn't that long ago that we were alll complaining about how the stock was manipulated....Granted, that was when it was going down. I would think it can happen both ways. Except that no one complains when it's going up....That's only comes after we buy in and then get killed realizing there was serious manipulation. BTW, it's important to understand that the manipulation is part of the game. Those with big bucks can easily run a stock price up and then dump it after all the small investors have jumped in and driven the price up even more. I guess I sound somewhat negative here and my negativity isn't about psft. It's about the way the small investor is manipulated. This last month or so has just been very eye opening for me. I've accepted that I can't change things...But I can at least keep my eyes open and realize that things are not always what they appear to be. Well, all I can say is that regardless of whether we close up or down today, it will be interesting to see what we hear tonight and what happens to the stock tomorrow.
