Tower Semiconductor, Velocity Express Mamma.com Surge in Afternoon Trading


NEW YORK (AP) -- The following companies were showing unusually heavy volume in trading Monday on the Nasdaq around 2 p.m. Higher-than-normal volume can indicate increased activity by institutions such as mutual funds and insurance companies. Upward stock movement on such volume can show increased confidence among investors, while selling can signal further downward pressure on a stock.


Contract chip maker Tower Semiconductor Ltd.'s stock traded 1.1 million times, while its average daily volume is 95,700. The reason for the movement was not immediately clear. Shares rose 38 cents, or 22 percent, to $2.13.

Shares of same-day delivery service operator Velocity Express Corp. surged to trade 1.1 million times, compared to an average daily volume of 126,700 trades. The company did not release any news that would explain the movement. Shares rose 23 cents, or 12.7 percent, to $2.04 cents.

Search engine Mamma.com Inc. saw volume jump to around 1.9 million shares, compared to an average trading volume of 233,800, as shares climbed 28 cents, or 16 percent, to $2.10. The reason for the movement was not immediately clear.

Shares of NetRatings Inc. traded with unusually high volume after the VNU Group BV offered to pay $225.6 million in cash for the remaining stake of the Internet market research firm. VNU already owns 60.5 percent of NetRating's stock, and offered to buy the rest for $16 per share.

Trading volume surged to 1.9 million, from an average daily trading volume of 76,000. NetRatings shares rose $2.18, or 15 percent, to $16.75.

Shares of Mercantile Bankshares Corp. surged to trade hands 7.6 million times, from a typical volume of 322,500 trades, after PNC Financial Services Group Inc. said it will pay $6 billion in cash and stock for the Baltimore-based Mercantile. Shares of Mercantile rose $8.08, or 22 percent, to $44.86.

Longer term chart looks to be showing a,
Rounding Bottom (Reversal) Pattern......
The rounding bottom is a long-term reversal pattern that is best suited for weekly charts. It is also referred to as a saucer bottom, and represents a long consolidation period that turns from a bearish bias to a bullish bias.

A rounding bottom could be thought of as a head and shoulders bottom without readily identifiable shoulders. The head represents the low and is fairly central to the pattern. The volume patterns are similar and confirmation comes with a resistance breakout. While symmetry is preferable on the rounding bottom, the left and right side do not have to be equal in time or slope. The important thing is to capture the essence of the pattern.

Forward Looking Statements

Certain statements in this press release, and other written or oral statements made by or on behalf of the Company, may constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the federal securities laws. Statements regarding future events and developments and the Company's future performance that are not historical facts, as well as management's expectations, beliefs, plans, objectives, assumptions and projections about future events or future performance, are forward looking statements within the meaning of these laws. Forward-looking statements include statements that are preceded by, followed by, or include words such as "believes," "expects," "anticipates," "plans," "estimates," "intends," or similar expressions. Forward-looking statements are only predictions and are not guarantees of performance. These statements are based on beliefs and assumptions of the Company's management, which in turn are based on currently available information. These assumptions could prove inaccurate. Forward-looking statements are also affected by known and unknown risks that may cause the actual results of the Company to differ materially from any future results expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Many of these risks are beyond the ability of the Company to control or predict. Such factors include, but are not limited to, the following: we may never achieve or sustain profitability; we may not be successful in integrating CD&L and may fail to achieve the expected cost savings from the CD&L acquisition, including due to the challenges of combining the two companies, reducing overlapping functions, retaining key employees and other related risks; we may be unable to fund our future capital needs, and we may need funds sooner than anticipated; our large customers could reduce or discontinue using our services; we may be unable to successfully compete in our markets; we could be exposed to litigation stemming from the accidents or other activities of our drivers; we could be required to pay withholding taxes and extend employee benefits to our independent contractors; we may not be able to satisfy the financial covenants contained in our credit agreement and indenture; risk relating to maintaining the financing under our credit agreement; we have a substantial amount of debt and preferred stock outstanding, and our ability to operate and financial flexibility is limited by the agreements governing our debt and preferred stock; we may be required to redeem our debt at a time when we do not have the proceeds to do so; our stock price is subject to fluctuation and volatility; future issuances, or the perception of future issuances, of our common stock may depress the price of the shares of our common stock; the issuance of additional equity securities could trigger the antidilution provisions of our outstanding preferred stock and warrants; and the risk of delisting from Nasdaq because, on May 17, 2007, the bid price of our common stock was below the Nasdaq requirement of $1 per share; and the other risks identified in the section entitled "Risk Factors" in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2006 and its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2007, as well as in the other documents that the Company files from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Management believes that the forward-looking statements contained in this release are reasonable; however, undue reliance should not be placed on any forward-looking statements contained herein, which are based on current expectations. Further, forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and management undertakes no obligation to publicly update any of them in light of new information or future events.
