Dear Paul: You state: > I posted it because it was coming from a pretty reliable place and seemed to be very strong, and was curious if others had heard the same. A couple of points: a) If it is coming from a very reliable high place within IBM, then why on earth do you care and curious if others (the regular Joe on the street) had heard the rumor. In otherwords if you have heard it from a reliable high IBM source, then it no longer is a rumor. And considering you are a cyber journalist (but a Journalist nevertheless) you should also post that on your web sites as well for all to see instead of positing it on a place such SI (or perhaps you already have?). b) Tell your high IBM corporate contct that SEC will be after both you and him/her, since the kind of information (i.e. earnings warning, and layoffs) you have shared on a message board such as SI is considered to be insider information, and should they become true, I can guarantee that SEC will be coming after both of you (Or at least I will make sure they are aware of this to investigate further). Sincerely,
