Hello Robin, I first read the rumor over at RB but remained silent, hoping it would go away. Later I read it here and gagged. I'll see if I can find the posting over at RB but finding things there is far more difficult than here at SI. Regards, Lynn

Rumors are posted by brokerage and investment houses. URL is pasted below as well as company info taken from their Web site. R... jagnotes.com From company information "The only time an individual investor or day trader has a chance to be on the same playing field as large Wall Street institutions is before the bell. Even then, virtually all of the financial powerhouses are at a significant advantage over the well-informed investor and day trader at the start of trading for several reasons, one of them being JAGNotes. What are JAGNotes? JAGNotes are a consolidated investment report on all the stocks that have had newly issued research, analyst opinions, upgrades, downgrades and coverage changes. The information contained in the morning JAGNotes is typically not released to the street until after the start of trading. JAGNotes gets the market moving information first and gets it out to JAGNotes subscribers before the others hear about it!" ragingbull.com Lynn
