I just went to stockhouse.com and after peaking at 8.70 friday what the bid/ask were at close were 6.13/6.50. That's a .40 spread on what people are willing to pay versus what people want for the stock. This indicates to me that the stock pump is over! If I can look into a crystal ball I would predict that there may be counter suits against SCO (probably by novell) for damages to linux businesses.
