Flickerful, I read the post you suggested re: BARR,
in addition to most of the others for Jul/Aug/Sep.
If Sparky's factual evidence is true, then I would
agree with Sparky's conclusion that some degree of
manipulation is going on in relation to the secondary
offering's expected price. I guess that's an underwriter's
unspoken perogative. But I don't see anything that activates
my patented Shills 'n Crooks Alert Module (SCAM).
Qualifying that statement, I'm the wrong guy to ask about
the inner details of market mechanics. I pick my companies
based on my opinionated common sense regarding the quality
of their products, their marketing savvy, and the degree to
which their business smarts agree with mine. I'm sure my
ramblings expose my lack of knowledge re: trades, traders, and
the guts of the market. But it doesn't keep me from making
good choices, and that is all I care about -- NICEY in January,
IOM in April, ADPT in May speak for themselves.
I did, in fact, take a quick look at BARR's statements
and filings. If I had any money right now, BARR
looks like a company worth more DD effort on my part.
Walking by the restaurant, they look good, smell good,
could be worth a walk-in to really investigate the
menu, but I'm too broke for the meal so I have to pass.
I'm not sure if I answered your question about BARR,
but I've interpreted your query, "what's my take on this post"
as encompassing the above.
