Media (WSJ and others) have put out targets of $25 and $28 a share. SKYT is also a mention of TokyoJoes for whatever its worth. Jane

Not that I'm aware of. If it does really go, the way it has based here leads me to believe it would be a premium on a 17 price, 20+? Your guess as good as mine. Take a look at its chart, tell me what you think. Seems like holding both OMPT and SKYT may be a good conservative play. Just haven't had a dip to get in on OMPT. SKYT has been fairly solid, like COMS. Sort of looking for safer plays at the moment. Personally I'm tempted to add more SKYT, just not doing that now... holding. Waldeen
