Up 3/8's so far today sitting at the ask at 2 3/8's. I hope you are right and that we are at the start of a long uptrend. I can't think of any reason why this stock should not recover: quote.yahoo.com Regards, Jeff

Has Anyone talked with CLCK about why the deal was terminated. I have two theories: 1. CLCK has noticed shareholder disapproval resulting in share price dropping from $3.50 to $2.00 since the announcement. This is because ABN is obviously losing money. Who knows which divisions were responsible. CLCK could acquire other assets that are immediately revenue generating. 2. ABN pressured for more shares since CLCK dropped...CLCK balked at that idea...and therefore both would not backdown. ABN could not give away parts of the company and CLCK did not want to pay more because of depressed share price. These are both my opinions only, does anyone have any others?
