I'm glad to see the date finally announced as well. And it fits in with the date I gave this board of May 24, last I heard. However, one thing that's bothering me is today's action. Still low volume and not much of a price jump. I would have expected at least 2 or 3 points right off the bat and maybe a million shares traded. Well the day is still young yet but so far this is a little disappointing. Maybe bnbn won't be as big as we think it will be. I think the fact that bks is on the NYSE is really really hurting it here as the NYSE these days is apparently more subject to outright manipulation than Nasdaq. It looks like 40 will probably be tops judging by today. Let's see if we even can get there. If we can't close above 36 by Friday then I kind of doubt it. Maybe the reason for the low volume is that the daytraders know how manipulated and fixed the NYSE is and are keeping away. Any other explanations for the low volume?
