re: I've heard the possibility suggested that many of these negative posters who suddenly appeared in the
last 10 days were actually paid touts of MMs (or MMs themselves) who tried to seed doubt and
discontent in order to drive the price down (while they sucked up cheap shares) prior to the
announcement. This would seem to explain their sudden appearance and disappearance here on the
thread.


That's an interesting idea, Bradpalm. I'm wondering...

Usually the insiders who have such info are buying, bidding the price up and if the MMs were buying, wouldn't that also be bidding the price up?

Also, how do you think the MM's found out in advance about the date of the announcement when this group didn't know?

I'd like to understand... The dilution and the bad market and margin calls and wish to get cash out for put buying, all seem to be contributing factors to the lower stock price, but that certainly doesn't rule out the kind of scenario you raise.

By the way, thank to you for encouraging me to hold onto all my expensive shares for all this time. I'm starting to think they may pay off. LOL!
