Marc:

As you aware, those Yahoo Boards are filled with garbage occassionally interspersed with smarts. The signal/noise ratio is almost infinitesimal... There are way too many hypesters - most of which make their claims of $xx and then scoot with their fat profits... As a rule, I would not pay any attention to the stuff there.

I also hope that we once again do not go into this "BORL is going to be taken over" craziness only to see the company not announce anything of the sort on the 29th and thereby dropping the stock back into the 9's. Long term, a slow solid base is much better than these really ridiculous 1-2 day spikes.

You can bet if it were a $20 takeout offer other people knew of the same and since we are only a couple of days away, it seems to me that the stock would have risen further.

Now do not get me wrong - I have a lot of money in this stock and $20 would be fine but this is at least the third time that the "takeover" craze is hitting the stock and it is getting just a bit old...

Of course I can do absolutely nothing about it...

Shane.

From Yahoo Board...
Wild speculation or some substance?


The times I've visited the Yahoo Board, most of what I've seen could not in any way be mistaken for rational, reasoned thought backed up by facts.
