Thanks for the clarification Mike. I really like FUDBOF (FUD Based on Falsehood) and will use it generally when I used to use FUD. Reading on to additional posts it seems Eric's use of FUDD (second D for deception) also seems pretty close to what I had in mind.

I would also want to mention another type of FUD which is not necessarily used by company personnel themselves but seems to be used by financial community members. When companies appear highly valued in some key financial measures (I won't mention any specific companies here <gg>), financial community members seem to come out with all the negative news that is fit to print, all at once. Even though the same news actually may have dribbled out in bits and pieces over the previous month or two, they can still package it as a full faced FUD attempt to drive down a stock price for financial gain by shorting in advance. This is also seems to be another creative use of FUD with emphasis on deception in terms of emphasis of worst case scenario outcomes only.
