I'm thinking Pyrogenesis may have sold some that day so they could shore up their actual cash for the Q1 report.
The better part of this company's reported "liquid investments" is tied up in shares of HPQ.
Virtually all of it.
They fall under the heading "Strategic Investments".
They couldn't sell them if they had to.
HPQ's 30-day average volume is 123,069 shares.
Personally, I think this company is facing a severe liquidity crunch.
I urge you to be careful.
This company needs cash badly.
I promise I won't be back.
