GKI Update Apparantly someone is spam faxing a recomendation around on GKI. I learned that WWW.stocktalknews.com (C. Scoggin and associates) has floated some sort of recomendation on GKI. Here's the "recomendation" off their web site. I have also printed their disclaimer that cites their recipt of 100,000 shares of GKI for work they did getting them their AMEX listing. >GK Intelligent Systems (GKI) - Last year when I first took a look at this company the share price was around $.28. After Rod Canion the Co-founder of COMPAQ joined the company as Chairman, the stock then surged to $19.75. Since That time Canion has left the company and the stock has plummeted. Few months ago I briefly revisited GKI as a stock to watch out for, largely due to concerns that tax selling would send the stock lower. It did, in fact the stock price was cut by over half. I also said at that time, that if the company looked like it was going to turn around, I would upgrade my opinion on the stock. Well, this stock can now consider itself upgraded. Here's why: 1) Shorts! This stock has been so overly shorted it's not even funny. I have rarely seen published numbers that made me laugh this hard. At this time close to 1/4 of the float is short. 2) AMEX Delisting- I do not see any way that this company will be delisted. It is my opinion that they have the contracts in hand to produce the revenue numbers to satisfy the AMEX requirements. 3) Bad press- This Company has seen more than its fair share of it. In fact I would have to say, in my opinion of course, that there have been those who have crossed the line. Bloomberg has been all over this stock consistently crushing any rally its had with negative press. So what's my take on this? Well, at this time I think there is a great upside play here, not because the company has a new product line, or a cure for cancer, but rather because raiders have not been wise enough to cover their outstanding shorts. My guess is that this stock just based on the short numbers and the misperception that the stock will be delisted is enough to push it higher. This is one of the reasons I have held onto my position in the security. At some point someone was bound to come along and squeeze this float.
