I don't think anyone really know what is causing the spike in volume. I have played many distressed stocks, including stocks in BK, and this activity seems to occur randomly. I have seen distressed stocks pop or drop with news that explains it ten or fifteen minutes later.
I could speculate that perhaps opponents to restoration are about to throw in the towel and give into Nader and FnF longs...
I personally have been on FnF for years and my stance has not changed...I read some of the stuff posted here and there and in the media, really nothing has changed for years...restoration will come, most likely when no one is looking...like right now...this board is dead compared to in the past when it was popping to $5 area...
This board will again rock and be the talk of the town...one day...when is the billion dollar question....
