With the current economic conditions and state of the computer market I
highly doubt Atari stock will ever trade at $20.  Gone are the days of the
Tramiels boosting the stock price up.  Face it, Atari is just not
competitive in the north american market, and I don't think european sale
will reflect US stock prices.  I'd sell at $9.00 (if it ever gets there)
before the recession hits.
