In individual stories, Mobius Management Systems (Nasdaq: MOBI) gained 31.6% after entering into a definitive merger agreement under which Allen Systems Group has agreed to acquire Mobius for $10.05 per share in cash. ECtel Ltd. (NASDAQ: ECTX) fell 29% after announcing its preliminary results for the first quarter of 2007. Revenues for the first quarter of 2007 are expected to be in the range of $ 3.4-3.6 million.
