The most notable spike, IMO,
was the "jimc" rally of August 2000. The pps climbed from about $3.75 to $6.78 over about a weeks time. It was catalyzed by a private and widely circulated email "campaign"
that revealed inside information regarding a major bundling deal for an e.Digital DAP with HP. Additionally it also referred to the certainty of a NASDAQ acceptance to be announced in the next day or two. Public hypeing accompanied the email trying to push people into buying, or missing the boat.
Recently, right here on this board and others, there have been similar suggestions of positive inside information by posters such as acrazjo. Whether or not there will be another "eruption" it seems that the exit door will be crowded with those who have learned the lessons from history, and will be fighting to exit on each of these spikes.
