Roc;
Here is the scenario: a major gold producer who senses IPM just might be for real decides to call in a favor at (lets just call it Fart Bros. a well known MM) FB can't manipulate the market by themselves so they call in an old marker with a friend who has some clout at a major financial magazine who then writes what can only be described as a "hatchet job" [and a poor one at that] on IPM. Of course, this is only my GUESS. DO NOT take this to be the truth. THIS IS JUST MY OPINION!!!
That is my definition of getting into bed with shorty. As for the buyout.......who knows what would have happened yesterday if some white knight hadn't come in at the last minute and purchased those large blocks of shares.

You are probably right..........I "grew up" listening to "conspiracy theory" on the radio every monday night in San Francisco back in the early '70's but then that was Watergate and this is now.
