You hit this one on the nail. IMHO The Price purchase is a great vote of confidence for these shares. The money he put up is a better sign than what some unknown shorter may post on a bulletin board. Mr. Price's track record is also pretty good. Anyone who was interested in a takeover will definitely have to pay more now than a week ago before this Price stake. If $22 was the talk last week than now $30 would me more realistic.

BoNg-N-BoNg, First off, I sincerely doubt any single individual can influence a stock price by his/her postings. Since I'm short for the short term, I do hope OXHP will go down. But whichever direction it's heading, I guarantee you that my posts (or anyone's posts) will have nothing to do with it. At the same time, u r doing a great service for those people who can't do DD until u "divulged" yourself to the thread that u r SHORT on OXHP short term... I'm a little confused. If I hadn't disclosed my position, I was doing a great service. Once I made it known that I was short, I became a bad guy? Even if I were long, I could have posted almost the same way I did because they were mostly just a collection of published articles, and facts. As for posting old articles. Well, for me anyway, knowledge gathered even after I have taken a position, helps to determine my exit point. I also want to tell a little secret. One of the best indicators assuring me that I have got a good short is when I'm attacked relentlessly by the longs. Of course, that has not happened here. So my OXHP short is not yet a sure thing. <VBG> Regards, Tom
