I bought some a few months ago, thinking that if the PC Folio was as good as it appeared to be I'd be able to afford one with my earnings, and it looks like my strategy is really beinning to succeed. Atari stock rose 7/8th of a point both Thursday and Friday, not back considering it was at something like 6 1/4 Wednesday, and it was the third most actively traded stock on the American Stock exchange this week. My speculations; one of the following is happening: 1) A takeover is in progress. 2) The Federated legal situation was settled in Atari's favor. 3) Ditto for the Nintendo lawsuit. 4) Some major corporation or distributor purchased a whole lot of PC Folios. 5) Some stockbroker or person in a position of influence in the market saw the PC Folio, and maybe the Stacy, and is telling everyone to buy Atari. -- J
