Time for interpretation: even though I bought another 1000 shares at 16 1/8, this action doesn't bother me at all. For one thing, shorts were out in force: remember, teh figures on short interest? dramatially down, even more so today. many traders religiously follow the axiom: buy on the rumor, sell/short on the news -- for example, our friend anthony. Many were selling into buying pressure, not wanting to wait for the ipo. However, remeber the conference call, those of you who listened: almost every question came from small investment and capital companies, controlling, what anywhere say from 1-10 or 15 million of assets? That would be a fair guess: these guys do not walk away from a stock like navr; they will soon be accumulating, probably even tomorrow: the fifteens will be a memory inside of a few days. Shorts who follow anthony like some kind of God will find themselves terribly squeezed; it would even make sense for the capital/investment groups to enter now and provoke a short squeeze; that would make sense to me, would increase valuations. So, shorts, be our guests: do it, but when this stock price starts moving up, and netradio is a hot area, this is not some tiny little internet startup company, be prepared for some losses. With all due respect to guru Tony, shorts will get killed: look at all the call options; do you think companies with millions invested are going to stand by and watch the shorts pull this stock down, the market makers, who stand to make millions on the netradio ipo. You;d better believe not: indeed it was a party today where not many people came, but this party is just beginning, and when word gets out about all the goodies its offering, the doors will be broken down by the stampede of investors seeking a piece of this action.
