Paul: What you articulated, chartwise, was one of the first things I looked at when the slide began. I then let history be my guide, and used it to assuage my concerns. If history is truly repeatable, then I'd expect to see some beginnings to a rise by,,,oh....late Dec(say around 12/18? How's that for a guess.) If the rise does occur, I see it as validation of my guess that tax-loss selling had occcured and will be, by that time, complete. If that guess turns out to be accurate, I'd then expect to start seeing a rise of significance come the first part of January. Just as occurred last year, and the year before if I'm not mistaken. As for folks who've provided info here not knowing about C.R.'s announcement. Well, good question. Let me guess. Their wrong with their news! (oh my God run for the hills! heh). ;-) Perhaps it amounts to this, someone has been able to pry things out of an inside contact. Now the news has been general enough that it could have come from any number of insiders. However, C.R.'s news would be, by its nature, limited to a very few, need to know, people. If the news leaked out, it'd be clear which insider it came from, or the corporate investigation would be able to easily narrow it down. How'd you, as that insider, like to be under that particular investigative microscope, eh? Particularly when your company is soooo close to commercial manufacture and you just might be looking at a boatload of accumulated options, or stock, etc.. Me? If I was said insider, the last thing I'd let out would be C.R.'s news, that's even if I was in a position to know it. Just my opinion, of course. Anyone else have a theory, unless those that've posted would like to share........ Regards! John~
