Giota I'm sure it has to be rumors to make the stock move like this. I never owned this stock, but bought it last week at 17 1/4 simply for this reason. It seems that this stock had run it's course with bad news, especially since the weaker than expected earnings really didn't seem to hurt the stock. Now the question is when to sell! John
