DD: What got my attention on this stock is on 4/30/99 the director of the company bought 158,000 shares of stock at an average price of $16.31 a share. A value of over 2.5 million dollars worth. Ticker: HTLD 52 Wk Low: $12.38 52-Wk High: $24.00 05/07/99 Price: $15.63 Company Snapshot: Heartland Express, Inc., a short-to-medium haul truckload carrier, provides nationwide transportation service to major shippers. For the 9 months ended 9/30/98, revenues rose 3% to $201.1M. Net income increased 9% to $24.8M. Revenues reflect an expansion of the customer base and increased volume from existing customers. Net income also reflects lower insurance and claims expenses due to the lessor severity of claims incurred & higher interest income. Share Related Items Mkt. Cap.

PAIR, I'd be interested to know why so many thread members dumped PAIR yesterday. Didn't come close to breaking support, still riding the up trend line fresh off the triangle break. Even the extra sensitive volume adjusted MA's (top box) are still in the buy mode. geocities.com Just curious, I can see why a day trader would've dumped it and I do my share of that. Admittedly some of the momentum indicators turned down some. This thread doesn't seem to have quite that mindset though. It it just the fear that with no deal announced that it might tank?? As I said, no criticism, I could dump it any second as well, just wonder what turned so many skittish... Stan
