Good story! I've read a slightly different version regarding the oil prospectors who are in heaven and start a rumor that "oil is found in hell!" in order to thin out the ranks. Sure enough, as in your story, the guys who start the rumor head down to hell too, in case there is truth to the rumor. But I PROMISE to buy shares on this drop and not sell until 3 figures. (or the split equivalent.) By the way, nas futures moved up a point after this news broke. We'll see tomorrow.
