Utmost,
I think you might have nailed it on your "gap" theory in message 985. In fact, to me it almost looks like everything after 7/23 has been set up for a final shake out. I keep looking at that large trade at EOD on 7/23 and the patterns after that. Do you see anything there?
Also, mjpw311 at yahoo board posted an interesting item from BK case docket #354 posted on Aventines website last night. A lawyers billing statement is saying there are at least two "interested parties" for either investing in and/or purchasing AVRNQ. Hoping they come out with some news soon.
