e-bill, It is impossible to "pump and dump" a stock with as much liquidity as LU or NOK by posting on SI. With 10s of millions of shares changing hands each day, the combined buying power of SI readers just ain't going to move these stocks, and we did not sell anywhere near enough LU to make a difference. In fact, we got killed on these two stocks through earnings season, despite lightening up on LU before and just after the quarter. We are still slightly overweighted LU and very overweighted NOK right now. And yes, I still think the fundamentals on both stocks look good.

e-Bill, he said he would buy more is he weren't already overweighted. He sold a bit before the earnings came out, does that constitute a pump & dump? He also said good things about Nokia in both posts, was he also pumping and dumping(your opinion, not mine) Nokia? I think he was a fund manager trying to be helpful, sharing what he knows, he was wrong, so now you can blame somebody else other than yourself, that should make you happy not angry. jim
