scott- it's time to ask ourselves... if we had inside information... a hot tip... information from a market maker about his plans or something from someone we knew in a public corporation that told us in advance, good or bad news that was about to be released, would we buy, sell or go short to take advantage? isn't that part of the reason we inhabit these messageboards? is that wrong? or is it smart to seek the fastest source of information and act quickly? OR... if we take a position, is it right or wrong to spread the word and encourage others to take the same position... thereby increasing the value of our position as they join in? is that any different than what we're seeing in most of these cases? are we, ourselves above that? are we hypocrites? purveyors of a double standard? just unmoderatedly porchin' -polvo
