Kathleen, Fake eps reports aren't new. The companies have been putting them out for centuries. -g- Seriously, anyone who relies on a net-name for earnings info deserves anything they get. Not that I am in favor of lying or excusing the bum for posting phony info, but this is like a woman going into Mike Tyson's hotel room at 3 A.M. We have to think a bit before we do something obviously not in our best interests, and believing anonymous sources is something we have to think hard about. Also, anyone who is that worried about making or missing eps by a few pennies is not an investor, he is a twit. -g- Let's hope most folks have a bit more depth to their research than that. I know. If I am betting that way, then I'm the twit. MB
