There may be a very good reason why GE and Intel have not sold their shares. They may be restricted at the moment. There may be an even better reason. The small float is now an instrument to lure the brave buyers at $120/sh. If you have millions of shares in the float, how are you going to do a short squeeze ? Glenn, we learned a lot lately. It cost us huge $$. I am just puzzled that the lessons seem lost on others. Sarmad, This was where I was heading but the only reply I received (you excluded) was GE and INTC had not sold. By the way, the original investment cash is nearly all gone. IVIL seems on track to lose the IPO money by end of next year. Are we going to see converts ala amzn here, too ? This is a fact also. We could go long in the interim waiting for another short squeeze. I prefer to not;-) Glenn
