Slider, great post (SLMAO). Regarding FGH: I think the way to play is to ignore most of the noise and focus exclusively on the technicals. I'd like to see it base for at least 2 months if not 3 before I'd consider it. There may be some blips along the way, but you're better off ignoring them (or trading them). I would defer to Gary B on when to buy FGH for the long term. Shorts will be all over this puppy on any bounce. Ingore the news...watch the tape. Normally I would not say this. But there are so many question marks right now regarding FGH that I think that this is the safest play. News often gets leaked and the tape most accurately reflects this.

JimL - thoughts on trading FGH technically... I think $5 3/4 ish was support on the initial blow off yesterday. Many times I look for these stocks that are dangerously close to the marginability level of $5 to get pushed over by short traders - virtually assured here imo. I think we had many FGH longs - add yesterdy in a virtual last gasp. Many are on margin - FGH is heavily owned by individuals and heavilly margined. A 17.5% retrace from yesterdays support near $5.75 is around $4 3/4's which also corresponds to a push under marginability of $5. On margin - traders who entered at $5.75 will have lost 35% at this push below $5 to $4 3/4's if they were on 50% margin maintenance. That will be where capitulation & blood flows. I would make a nice initial entry there and save some money for margin call selling thereafter. We could see $4 3/8ths or so intra -day. We will get a chance to buy FGH sub $5 - I'd be a taker on any & all "legal" side bets that ANYONE wants on that one (VBG). The individual pain on this one has to be immense - cut in half in less than the last 6 weeks ! Margin on FGH of late has been suicidal - there has to be many people who were completely wiped out on margin if they were averaging down merely during the last 6 weeks - let alone since May - in which the shorts have a 3 Bagger here.
