Justa, that's a really good question. IMHO, we can categorize the info given by the BOYZ to Maria in three ways.

1. Meaningless things they don't mind us knowing because it either can't help us or there is simply no way we can possibly act on in time to use it to help ourselves. This probably makes up 90-95% of everything they tell her; they feed her with this all day every day to make sure she keeps coming back.

2. Things they want us to hear so they can set something up for themselves. Setting up for this, IMHO, is the main reason for #1. This is probably 5-10% of everything they tell her.

3. Actual hot tidbits that she overhears or that they let slip. This is certainly less than 1% of what she reports.

Looking at the NAZ swing since I started typing this, I'm tempted to put this one into category #2. Maybe when they say to her "stock in size" it's like a MM two-minute warning, i.e., Hey BOYZ, we're about to dump a load of crappola on the market, so look out!

How does that sound, criminally speaking?
