Sorry, Cheryl, no insult intended. But it was such a great spin!! Just as I do not believe there are paid toutists on this board, neither do I believe that anyone is trying to drive down the price of the stock in order to buy more. The bulls and the bears have just gotten into personality conflicts and the lack of news is exacerbating things. However, Jonathon threatening to burn down restaraunts is really carrying things too far. Much worse than anything LE has ever said.

Cheryl, Many have no idea what you are talking about -- but you may very well be correct. For those who are unfamiliar with trading tactics on the BB -- I will try to enlighten you. Selling drives the price of a BB stock down much more rapidly than buying drives it up. (THis is "most of the time.") SO, if someone has a lot of money and the inclination, they sell off a stock quickly and heavily, driving the price down rapidly. (THey usually cause others to bail at the same time enhancing the effect) then they gradually buy it back at a much reduced price and very slowly raise the price in the process. This allows them to take a much larger position in the stock at a lower cost. Does not always work, but more often than nor, it does. This stock is a prime candidate because of all the BS, both out of the company and off of threads like this on the 'net.
