Hey Joe,

As they tiptoe through the next 22 hours, I would speculate that their heart stopping silence is not only a response to a litigious trigger some shareholders may have towards the managements of "certain" companies, but is a stronger "college try" to get the share price up.

The SEC filing gains more speculative hoopla if they don't say anything about it, i.e. no press release, nothing on the web site, etc. It is also interesting that, and this is what I would like to believe, moving the earnings release date up to a historically thin trading day can have a dramatic effect on the stock price if they release some better than expected earnings. This aids in fending off the embarressing obstacle of a "take under", makes shareholder's happier, and gives them time, time, time to concentrate on the eventual sale at a higher price. Why no new CEO, ha, they're not looking for one of their own. They want to adopt one who heads another company with deep pockets.

Jus my own thinkin. Thanks again for the web page Joe...

Stuart
