[11:23] {Threei} IFON tries to tuirn into momo runner...

[11:26] {Threei} holding well so far

[11:26] {Threei} 2.20 break should be a launching pad

[11:26] {Threei} realize the risk

[11:27] {Threei} alternative way to try it - break of that big offer at .15

[11:27] {Threei} if it's taken out, .20 shouldn't hold

[11:28] {nemo} kinda' stands out, doesn't it...

[11:29] {nemo} went from 268 to 700+ back to 500+

[11:30] {nemo} Vad, do you think those just move down to 2.11 and 2.13

[11:30] {Threei} no

[11:30] {Threei} they are all there

[11:31] {dino} dllr hl l .25

[11:33] {Threei} one scenario this kind of things spometimes follows:

[11:33] {Threei} stock retreats, huge offer chases it down,

[11:34] {Threei} at some point the price becomes attractive enough for buyers to take it out

[11:34] {Threei} and that become a trigger.

[11:34] {Threei} Stock ususlly comes into level where such offer originally sat,

[11:34] {Threei} pauses for a sec,

[11:34] {Threei} then blows through it as buyers realize it's no longer there

[11:35] {dino} amed 34 trig imo
