It's not unusual in this *new online investing world* all of us are creating.
Chat room forums -specially Silicon Investor ones-, and the spread of information to non-professional investors they make possible, are gaining more and more influence in the marketplace.
I posted a WSJ article published may 26 here last night about buy-and-hold strategy in small stocks, you can read it here:
exchange2000.com
The article started like this:

>>>FAST TRADING LOWERS RETURNS
Studies show that investors who execute rapid-fire trading of volatile small stocks see smaller returns than those who employ a buy-and-hold strategy.<<<

Heck, I think DGIV is just a *perfect example* of that!

I also find it very unusual that the WSJ would rely on a chat room forum for news about a company.
