Ted, One way to possibly see accumulation without putting the stock under runaway buy pressure is by purchasing call options in quantity. I know that Macmillan and others like Bernie Schaeffer monitor this type of activity for a possible tipoff. I haven't followed the options trading in CEXP for a long time as the stock has bounced around 5 bucks for quite a while, but picking up on a good size block trade on the buy side is good DD. Another stock that I watch is IDX, if you watch the options trading over the last month or so it is a classic. There have been continuing block buys of the OTM call strikes and stock has been very strong. I will check out CEXP over the weekend to see what I can read on the options statistics. I usually just play this one for a 1/4-3/8 or so scalp as it is fairly liquid in size, but maybe there is something else to look for. Thanks for the pointer. Good Trading Dave
