[...I'd assume that the Trafelet Fund scenario doesnt play out again for a couple reasons: - a lot more eyes are on this stock to snatch it up at bargain prices]

Aside from momentum players, who are the other eyes? Daytraders are a fickle lot. And there is no hard evidence of increasing institutional backing. Is there?


[...the markets are not in free-fall mode (at least they havent been for a while, although I fully expect this to change)]

If that's the case, then maybe it's just a matter of timing the exit before all hell breaks loose (again).


[...the fund manager for Pequot is on the EG BOD. We kind of have to assume this go around that the company and he would get together and cross the shares.]

Is it legal for director Farrell to still manage the holdings in that Pequot fund containing EGMI? I'm not sure about this. I'm guessing no.
