Wayne, you don't think we should first find out why it's going up? Maybe there's a good reason? (Wayne's answer: Maybe there isn't?) joe PS...Wayne you're probably right, but will my finger be able to pull the switch...everything is lined up... I previously had a sell order for 34, and canceled it. Hmmm,...35 1/2 sounds good though, hard to imagine this thing skyrocketing more than that. We STILL DON'T KNOW WHY IT'S GOING UP is the problem. two orders of 100K each and one of 200K...WAYNE, if institutional buyers are starting to get in, then BUYING HAS NOT DRYED UP!!! They've got a pile of $$ on the side, unused for a long time.

~325k order at around 11:45pm. >> exhaust panicky buyers<< why are they buying if they're panicky<g> It's people with profits that are panicky, don't you think? Some profit taking soon? But, don't forget, this stock has been accumulated to death. Which means, that if institutions are buying it, the number of profit takers is trivial. So, are institutions buying or not is the question, I think.

I've got my finger on the sell right now (for my trading shares)....I'll buy those shares back next time the shorts scare the price down a few points.

You guys, don't you think it's strange that there is no news on CNBC about COMS? Not even a take over rumor by you "takeover junkies"? btw...options activity is not that heavy, IMO. Does this mean somebody is buying shares to keep? joe
