Why the jump in stock price?

BXG has really been rising lately, up nearly 5% today, and up something like 75% since early March.

I do know they were upgraded from a sell to hold rating by 'TheStreet'. I know they are also selling off the residential side of the business.

Anything else happening that is making this stock pop more than I have seen in the recent past?

I am not complaining mind you, my profits make me but just wondering what triggered it so I can look at how long it may go.

Maybe the Diamond offer is being resuscitated and the insiders are jumping in?

We were watching HOT ( Starwood) and should have been watching BXG instead. We thought that with airline prices climbing that many people would travel by car this year and staying at resorts in the USA.

Merger with BFC

The two corporations trying to merge (with stockholder approval). BFC will give 8 shares of BFC for 1 share of Bluegreen. BFC is a penny stock. BFC currently owns about 52% of Bluegreen stock. Ihave no idea how this will affect TS owners.
