pj, I think if there are people out there that already know something, You would see more and more lots of 1-5 million shares trading, not little orders for 10-50k, some 100-300k trades. Or maybe you are right and the buyers are doing it little by little not to start a stampede ! Volume will be the determining factor IMHO. On second thought..............start a stampede and SQUEEZE the shorts !!!!!!!!!!
