Guy, CREE traded about 250,000,000$ worth of shares today. Does that not seem like a lot to credit to the G&K, MF and Yahoo threads? I'm sure enjoying the ride, all the while trying to keep my eyes open and not get caught in the hype.

You need look no further than this board. Are you kidding? If anything, this board has had many skeptics, myself included, about whether cree is a true gorilla, about its competition, and about what the heck is going on. UF even said he dumped his cree. Besides, if these boards were responsible, gmst would have gone up much faster and higher than cree, and yet it has been languishing. Board movements only work for thinly traded stocks without much institutional involvement.

Good God, I hope not!: >IMO, what's driving this runup in CREE is all the talk on this thread, G&K, Motley Fool & Yahoo. Last night I read an article in (Forbes) _ASAP_ titled, "Pump and dump," on pumping then dumping stocks via internet stock discussion sites. The night before I read a similar article (title escapes me) in _Forbes_ Feb. 21 issue. Some online guy called Tokyo Joe was named as being in big trouble (my words) with the SEC. Raging Bull and Yahoo! boards were mentioned as examples of where hyping takes place on boards. Merely the thought that CREE might be hyped places makes me shudder. Given I only occasionally lurk here and have never looked at the CREE boards elsewhere, I don't know. Back to occasional lurking- Regards, Lynn, pulling her hair out trying to decide if CREE will have a mini-correction or if more shares (in another account) should just be purchased now.
