Hector, I hope you are right about 18 and more, but if you look at the extrordinary volume, closing on down ticks, and overall swings, I have to wonder what the MM are up to.

Hector, I also hope you are right about the 18+ close tomorrow. I have thought all along that IBM was a better buyer candidate than anyone else. They are the most sophisticated in prosecuting and defending patents and if they really are worth anything, IBM would be the best ones to exploit them. OMKT may contribute to their ECommerce campaign by giving them even more clients. E-Commerce spreads like water on a blotter and the more trading partners you get, the better it is for everyone involved. Problem is that they may pay 20 or 23, which is a nice premium from current levels, but pretty far down from what a lot of us have paid for the stock. OMKT management should have been pointing this (and a lot more) out to them long ago, before they lost all that money and the stock plummeted.
