RE:What the dickens is going on with the share volume?Institutional holders only account for less than half of one percent of the stock. The rumor mill is at work and with a volume of over half it's present market cap, chances are there is some substance to the rumors.
About 48% percent of the stock is owned by insders according to Yahoo Finance, so it's private investors who are fueling the volume.
In any event it's a lot excitement for shareholders!
