This ain't investing, it ain't even day trading, its gambling pure and simple. The companies fundamentals are poor. Its a great stock if you like "the action". One day soon they will have to raise cash, somehow. Look for an S3 on the horizon.

IBM usually has a good track record of working with companies. If they make a deal with a company (such as Connect), there is a good reason for it. Most of the time it is to fill a hole in a major product they have. Regardless of the fundamentals of Connect, I feel that the deal will be good for them, and perhaps IBM will even buy them out if Connect delivers on its side. I have seen this happen too often with IBM.

>>>......how many shares are you short, anyhow? Terp, Shorting isn't a sufficient cause for me to trash a stock, and buying isn't cause to hype a stock. I buy what I like, I call it like I see it, and I try to ferret out the facts over time. Shorting CNKT would be too scary. I was waiting for an internet-stock type rally - like I watched CNKT do during the down market yesterday. I don't short yet, anyhow. There's too much chance I'd screw something up. I know my limits. Just out looking for good stocks with potential. CNKT may have this. The CNKT-IBM press release is what has me interested. I've had three favorite stocks for a half year now (one with a big IBM alliance), but have learned the payoffs are much farther out than I had expected. Might as well branch out. Some posts came out on SI this afternoon, possibly just shorters with self-serving ammo, but it was on a thread I just found and I like, so it's worth a first glance and a follow up. I'm outside my normal neighborhood these days, so I don't know who's advice to respect at face value. Here are links to some of the posts I'm referring to: Message 7262783 Message 7263424 Message 7264530 Based primarily on the stock trend and secondarily on the SI posts, I exited to the sidelines late in the game. Lots to absorb. If you can help with the questions these links generate, I'd appreciate it. Hey LG: Thanks for the heads-up on the technical indicators. I've never understood them, but glancing at my Quote.com technical charts this evening allowed me to see a correlation between some of the indicators and the stock direction. Cool stuff. If I knew this morning what I know this evening... What's a good book or website for learning technical charts? Shoe. P.S.: I hope this isn't a thread for off-topic posts like the previous one. I'm not fond of advertising spam.
