re: taking position not easy? to thisisit!
Look NT, I'm not trying to pick a fight, but your fixation with AVL is very unhealthy. You need to investigate other stocks as well. This was a comment from you on 20/7/2002
'My guess is that the "big boys" will sell such stocks as AVL down then quietly accumulate large numbers at depressed prices.'
13 months on and all the time in between you have been preaching exactly the same message. I really can't see the logic in the 'big boys' keeping the stock depressed for 13 months. If they want to take it over, just offer 20c now. In my experience the high-end of town don't mind paying a bit more for certainty, so my guess is there is no-one cheekily accumulating AVL.
