Chip was bragging earlier about putting the curse on TLABs who also just rolled out terrific earnings and you should see the master in action.

12 posts in 2 days that start with 'Boys I've been reading my tea leaves and just went short - things look real ugly."

You ought to read their thread - it's like reading drama. At first the TLAB shareholders are confused and questioning. The witchdoctor, though, has total confidence and explains that their stock will drop despite great earnings, etc - the tea leaves say so. In short order, they sell and the stock drops - over two points today.

I think we're encountering a facet of the information age we all ought to think about. Valid information and opinion is one thing. Blatant manipulation is another.

I don't believe someone or some institution would try to manipulate CREAF with their own money but I'd certainly be willing to believe someone or some institution would try to manipulate CREAF by manipulating CREAF shareholders - and never spend a cent.

I'm not trying to spread paranoia but I am trying to urge caution. Being forewarned is being forearmed.

Best of luck,

Steve
