Maybe they are idiots. Maybe they know something we don't know, as they apparently knew about the HAS/Tiger deal. I hope they are just idiots. That exactly mirrors my thoughts Dennis. Its discomforting to say the least. Jon Bird

<< Maybe they know something we don't know, as they apparently knew about the HAS/Tiger deal.>> This statement implies that jailable offenses have occurred. I'm not saying that illegal inside information isn't leaked, but I just don't think it's nearly as common as suggested by the various message-board postings that I read here and elsewhere. The internet's replete with posters who see conspiratorial forces behind an awful lot of activity. What I think is that this large posse of mainly novice investors meets daily at around 3:00 a.m. in suburban basements to plan just how they'll pepper message boards with dark suspicions of ongoing manipulations. Then traders like Fahn become envious and think, "Zow, why can't we do that, too?" And before you know it, they wind up doing it after being inspired by their putative victims. I mean, hey, we're talking about a major undermining termite effect to the entire Nasdaq scheme here. I'm going to lie down now.
