Ideation Volume Alert (IDI)

Ideation Acquisition Corp. (AMEX: IDI) is a very unusual trading alert and may be among the first of this type of call.  We are seeing a 1.75% gain to $8.15, which is not much of a gain, but the trading volume is 311,000 shares as of 12:24 PM EST.  The stock was also active last week with over 900K shares traded on Wednesday. The culprit for today’s move was an initiation of research coverage by Ladenburg Thalmann with a BUY rating.  This is ahead of a pending merger vote with SearchMedia.  Ideation is a SPAC, a special purpose acquisition company, and SearchMedia is an outdoor billboard and in-elevator advertiser in China.  -JON OGG
