Call me a glutton for punishment, but I want to go MAMA (short) again. Maybe it lost steam after crushing me 30+% this week.

Big hedge fund buying and buyout rumors

After being burned bad by this one I think it has potential to bounce a bit ... IAAC long.

short parl please.

normally i would think to buy a stock this beat up, with a new activist shareholder making noise. however, i think the recent sale was a bad move. also, i think women are becoming more interested in things like ipods this xmas, especially the younger demo parlux goes for. most importantly for this week, i think window dressing will have some gravity, and winners will win and loosers will loose. all jmo, like i said this is a contrarian's contrarian play. good luck.

haha, that's kinda funny... like anyone cares what time zone you're in
the exchange is located on the east coast and thus goes by EST.
feel free to file a complaint with the SEC (http://www.sec.gov/)

And out of nowhere comes FFHL posting a gargantuan gain on a mediocre market day. Nice pick, Tony.

It's not quite out of nowhere, I posted about the interest building in it last week I think, plus it's only Thursday it could easily selloff into a 3 day weekend, might be worth keeping an eye on next week though, has that efut look to it.

Disclaimer: purely speculative stock and I do not own it.

[Thierry Martin]

Congratulations spanky!
