ASHW. Thanks, Fred. I read the article about the Value Trend Links Fund last week and forgot to post it here. I saw two large buys last week so maybe this fund was buying. The two trades were 35,000 shares at 5 3/8 and 20,000 shares at 5 1/2. Both trades were at the offer so somebody with size is accumulating the stock. Here is the text of the article for those who are interested. SAN DIEGO (Jan. 6) BUSINESS WIRE -Jan. 6, 1999--Value Trend Funds announced today, that its Value Trend Links Fund (CUSIP no. 92046P206) is now available to investors.
