<<Maybe we are geting the post earnings sell off early>> I think so. I think some trading money came into the stock for earnings and for the pump for when the secondary that they filed for a couple of weeks ago comes. SCI spoiled their plans, they are dumping now to go onto their next party. I think if earnings and guidance are good, we will go up afterward, not down, not even tepid like SLR. The bankers for the secondary will see to it. They want a successful deal. Jabil must have something planned to file for $1.5b, I would guess. Though Patroller is a better source, if he would be so good as to magically show up!
Here is the secondary news, if anyone missed it: Message 14295607
