Tim AVCO Why did it fall from $31 to $15, 60 days ago. It has kept falling ever since. Down to the $4 range and in one day up to the $8 range. dawg

AVCO - one more caution! Sorry Tim, Hey I like your "moderate" role here on SI. I'm a big cap tech guy myself, usually calls, but this thing, AVCO, is for 'PRO's" only. From MF "Hey," Fools might be wondering, "haven't I heard of AvTel Communications (Nasdaq: AVCO) before?" The network services company rose $4 1/4, or 103%, to $8 3/8 today after it said it will start offering multimedia and Internet development services through its Addictive Media division. Last we heard from AvTel, the company was being yanked down from a more than 1200% one-day rise in mid-November after a press release announcing a new Internet access service for Santa Barbara was widely misunderstood by trigger-happy investors and the financial media as heralding a revolutionary modem. A handful of class-action lawsuits alleging fraud still hang over AvTel's head today, but that didn't stop shareholders from getting right back on the roller coaster -- the company's 1.3 million share float changed hands more than twice today, with the shares rising as high as $11 5/8 mid-session.
