I find myself wondering what tripped the share price rise around Oct 1 last year; it's the only unannotated inflection point on the graph. :)

Also note that since January, SCO's own statements seem to have led to the stock price falling, while actions that restrict SCO's freedom of action, like BayStar getting the ability to muzzle SCO's lawyers, has made the price rise. Last year, SCO's statements seemed to lead to price rises no matter how ridiculous they were, or how comprehensively they were rebuffed: e.g. the price surge at the quickly crushed SCOsource code showing.

At the risk of stating the bleeding obvious, somehow I think this indicates that investors aren't as confident in SCO as they used to be, and perhaps are even starting to think for themselves for a change.

But no. That will surely never happen. :)

The two events that created biggest upward jumps in SCOX price were optimistic SCO earning estimates by an analyst (namely Brian Skiba of DB). One of them was October 15 (I believe it was Skiba, not Baystar which triggered it, at least as the direct cause: he might have known about Baystar earlier than the rest of the market). I'm not sure about the other date but I'm sure that can be checked on Groklaw.
