I'd concluded some time ago that traditional IR tools for detecting what forces were setting the price for our stock weren't keeping pace with the rate of change in trading markets.

ModernIR offers a relatively simple way to see whether speculative traders or rational money is setting price. Their "Rational Price" calculations and other market- structure metrics have become important IR measurement tools for Seagate.
