This is the reason you should not buy stocks on buyout rumors. Too many get hurt when they buy a stock in the hope that it will be bought. One should buy a stock only because they think it is a good company. In this case many sold off when the DT news came through, some at a loss. Then something like this upgrade comes through and we start to come back up. It would be better to hold on. I am very glad DT fell through. We will make easily 5 times more money over the next few years if Q stays independent than we would getting 70 dollars a share with a DT buyout. JMO
