The MACD is going to cross tomorrow, and the stochs are diverging positive.
I see resistance at 27 and 40..... after that, who knows how high it could go.... personally, I would be happy getting out around 35! Another thing to remember about the higher pps stocks is that they jump by pennies, not thousanths of pennies, which in reality are about the same percentage gains! .01 gain on a .20 stock is 5%! .0001 on a .0020 stock is 5%....

Patrick Downs, CEO of IDS stated, "IDS believes this buyback is a bargain at current price levels and it will add tremendous value for our shareholders." Online portals such as 995ad.com have the advantage over most companies by virtue of carrying no inventory and no warehouse costs. IDS has the further advantage that unlike most public companies IDS has no debt to service.

Thanks chanhous. That's great news. Could mean that the brokers will be forced to hand in their certificates, thus, pushing the price upward.

"In re-reading the PR above, I keep getting the distinct feeling that 995ad is up for sale for the right price.
They have already sold their homeland security division for a nice profit, who/what is to say that they won't do it with 995 ad?!?" --------------------
Let's not start any unfounded rumors, OK.

You may remember they stated they were going to distribute those 995ad ownership shares to IDWS shareholders on a pro rata basis.....assuming that is the truth. Further, they stated they filed or were filing papers to trade the stock of 995ad publicly.

That bit about 995ad came out well before the HLS div. purchase for $41.+ mil. I guarantee you I would be disappointed if they take 995ad stock or anything like it in lieu of a cash dividend on the HLS div. It's too damn easy to put an arbitrary value on something like 995ad and say it is worth $.87+ cents per share. They were two separate PRs and people bought on that basis. I am beginning to have reservations about IDWS, but still hopeful.
