PTEK, thanks for pointing this one out HandsOn. I try to give a quick look at some familiar stocks as they pick up an MACD buy signal as this one did today. It's on my watch list as well, think I'll wait and see how it handles resistance at 18. Latest figures I have on short interest is 2.24 millon on a float of 38.7 million. That translates to short interest as a percentage of float being roughly 6%. Tending toward the high side but not enormous. As an example CCSI has an enormous short interest representing a whopping 27% of the float...that's kinda rare. By the way PAIR regained the trendline on a closing basis, so I'm still holding, BARELY!! PMTC remains a possible play, MANU had a big day but needs big volume early to signify a BIG bollinger sqeeze. Good luck with PTEK. Sold ASPT on a nice move. Holding CS and PAIR with reluctance. Feel good about WIND, pretty good about MANU and COMS. Stan

HandsOn, and any other PTEK holders: Consider also that they are about to do an IPO for USA.NET. I am not too familiar with the terms, but I hear they have a substantial stake in that ipo, and it is due out in the next few weeks. Some have said that it is valued even greater than the WEBMD play. Would appreciate if you can find any other info on this!! I do agree, PTEK's outlook is spectacular, and I expect it will be a matter of days before we see 20's and possibly 30's shortly thereafter. Good luck

PTEK.. from theStreet option notes "May 15 calls in Premiere Technologies (PTEK:Nasdaq) saw plenty of action after Healtheon (HLTH:Nasdaq) confirmed it was in discussions to merge with closely held WebMD. Shares of Premiere, which owns a significant stake in WebMD, jumped 1 1/16 to 16 1/4 and its May 15 calls gained 13/16 ($81.25) to 1 5/8 ($162.50) as a deal could be announced later Wednesday.
