Teva Pharm 8/24/00 Lehman Brothers sees share (TEVA) price vulnerable to selloff over near term in research note. How come? because they just got FDA approval to sell Enalapril on 8/23? Are Lehman brothers holding Merck and see a problem for TEVA's success maybe influencing MRK shareholders? TEVA is one of the finest companies in the market today, it locked up the generic market across the globe but Lehman sees it vulnerable to a selloff???? Maybe becuase they hold SBH and want a little boost there on the expense of TEVA.. I am no longer in TEVA (for a while) so I have no vested interest here except that I am tired of the influence wielded by no-nothing analysts. We can't do much but at least we should be informed. ********** Teva gets Copaxone approved in Britain JERUSALEM, Aug 13 (Reuters) - Israeli generic drugmaker Teva Pharmaceuticals (NasdaqNM:TEVA - news) said on Sunday it had received approval to market its Copaxone multiple sclerosis treatment in Britan.

Re: ELMX Call me crazy, but I don't see why CNBC keeps and other talking heads keep saying traders must be careful of what they hear in chat rooms, etc. What are they advising, not to sell when a negative news release comes out?? Should a trader take 10 minutes to call the company and verify each news release? The way EMLX was falling anyone who didn't try to dump their shares would have been nuts. We were all tripping over our feet trying to get short. Thank the God of trading, I wasn't long or short, but it could have been me as quick as anyone else. This type of hit could put a trader out of biz for life and CNBC says, "don't believe what you read in a chat room," go figure. Odd that CNBC couldn't spread the news fast enough, why didn't they call and check on it? Jeesh After the PAIR fiasco and now EMLX, the SEC better act against these short sellers with such zeal that no one EVER tries that again. Blame belongs in one place and one place only, the crims that shorted EMLX and created the fake press release. Everyone who has ever traded a stock should write, email, or phone the SEC and let them know we expect them to prosecute to the full extent of the law. If you think of it, you might email CNBC and remind them where the blame belongs, and it ain't chatrooms! Fred

At the same token, I experience a different kind of sabotage occasionally where in the displays, charts, trading services, screw up and pull the plug on me for a while at the nick of the moment when a trade is important to me. what is to say that this is NOT an intentional sabotage on the part of the trading service or some one in there intentionally puling the network plug out for a known segment until their trades go through? We at our terminals/PCs/workstations sit there thinking that the network is screwed up and curse at the stupid system and go on with our business, helplessly. I hope you understand what I am saying here. Trading services CAN and WILL do this for brief periods of time when a hot stock is trading to get some advantage for themselves. It can be done very easily. I am an engineer and worked on large networks myself.

In my early trading days I would have been tempted to play EMLX, but I learned that a trader is only as good as his/her weakest link. A slow login or broker or lack of clarity of mind can result in fast losses. Hope you all did well today.

To the wire services, and CNBC which routinely passes along rumors with the oh so helpful disclaimer that "this is just a rumor folks"...but with the implicit notion that where there's smoke there's gotta be fire...I ask a simple question of these purported financial journalists; How come you didn't check your source? How come you didn't confirm with a secondary source? Rushing to scoop the competition perhaps? Scurrying to be the first on your block maybe? Lotta folks got hammered pretty hard in EMLX by your sense of journalistic "integrity" and no, I was not one of them. I place you guys in the same camp with the analysts, experts and fund managers who pop up on the TV touted this or that stock without, most of 'em anyway...revealing if they have a position in the stock(s) they glowingly tout. Freedom of the press you say? Indeed. (Lee)
