What the heck has all these small float stocks squeezing?? Seems like every day there is a quest for the next TASR.. its sorta hilarious!!!


It is kind of funny ...10pt moves, 100 & 50% pops ...all you have to do is go out and find a small cap stock with small float , hang a sign on them , pop the volume & light the fuse .
Must be a bunch of Canadianes ;o)


Here's another they seem to be toying with----->" CULS "
a 3 mil floater I think...someone on the IDSA Yahoo board was calling it the next VAPH ,
(only on YHOO <g>)

but it popped again today on almost 14 x's ave vol:

BRIEF: CULS operates mid-sized warehouse club-style stores,
offering high-quality U.S. and local goods, primarily in
Caribbean and Pacific island markets. For the 39 weeks ended
9/28/03, revenues fell 3% to $126.6M. Net income rose from
$89K to $813K. Revenues reflect reduced B2B sales and the
temporary closure of the Dededo store in Guam, which was
damaged by Supertyphoon Pongsona. Net income was offset by
higher margins and fewer store operating costs.
PRELIMINARY: For the 13 weeks ended 12/28/2003, revenues
were 50,464; after tax earnings were 568.
