OT: Anyone here own iRobot stock (IRBT)?

[Jem]

WTF?!?!

I bought 100 shares 2 days ago with unsettled funds, and today it is up 20%

I see nothing in the news about why this should be so. Would like to sell, but can't until tomorrow.

Anyone know why iRobot took off like a rocket today, and if it is likely to stay up?

Oh... and of course now I wish I'd bought more than 100 shares, but then that's always the way. If I could lock in todays gains I'd walk away happy, with almost enough for a refurb mini... or 2.5 more shares of AAPL

One shows a stable, profitable company, the other shows a new market emerging.

Thanks Ztirffritz!

I guess taking out a 12-year lease on a new property is a pretty strong indication you think you NEED the space for expanding business growth.

How did you come across those articles? Neither were listed in the Yahoo financials section for IRBT. Thanks!
