<< I don't believe that Rubinstein and his group and also GS/JPM/RBC would let PALM slide any further after valuing the secondaries at 16.25. >>

But that's what you were saying at $17. GS/JPM/RBC would never let PALM slide below the secondary price of $16.25. But they did - in fact, they couldn't care now - they made their money.

<< So just like we saw a drop of PALM from 18.09 to 10.58 for no good reasons other than say mutual fund selling or booking profits (perfectly timed with the general market sell off), we similarly now can expect an upside potential of at least $7.51 from $18.09. >>

You keep referring to PALM's price drop being "on no good reason". How about the sudden realization that Android is a major threat to PALM and the inr=troduction of strong Android-based products at all carriers, including Verizon and Sprint.

And, you keep referring to the general market sell off. There has been no real market sell off. The DOW and NASDAQ are near their highs of the year. It's PALM that has taken the kicking.
