Some questions: 1) How much of this action is because "the word has gotten out," and how much of this action is because the stock is "in play" and daytraders are jumping all over it? 2) How many of the 12 interactive channels Liberty is planning on introducing will be IATV channels? I have never seen IATV mentioned directly in the same sentence with these 12 channels. 3) How firm is the 1999 release date mentioned in the IATV filing from this morning? Has IATV ever filed a form like this one that mentioned a different (earlier) release date that was not met? 4) How much fund activity/interest can we really expect? I checked other internet stocks. Yahoo is 90% insider-held, so hard for funds to get in. My opinion it's not just stock price but market cap that funds look at. Small-cap funds tend to look at 500MM-1BB market caps. "Real" funds don't jump in until later. Reason for this question - are we going to have to rely on retail activity to keep this stock running up? Don't get me wrong, I'm long and I like these run ups and have been adding when I could on the way up (last buy was at 14 7/8, first buy was at 2 3/4). I'm just wondering how much of this action is fundamental and how much of it is daytrading. If it's the latter, eventually it will dry up unless the company releases more and more good news to keep the daytraders interested. -Mike
