11:16 ET Lehman Brothers Holdings (LEH) 34 13/16 +9/16 (+2%): Moody's Investor Services reaffirmed firm's long-term debt ratings. "Moody's confirmation of Lehman Brothers' ratings clearly and positively underscores the ongoing financial strength and stability of the firm," Lehman's CEO commented. LEH shares have been pressured recently by rumors that the company was on the verge of insolvency.

I was thinking of investing in LEH stock. I was wondering if you knew if there is any validity to the rumors out there? I know from a reliable inside source that, contrary to the recent news, LEH is not having problems with banks in terms of credit lines. Likewise, in trying to separate the "wheat from the chaff" here, I am wondering if all the other negative rumors are just as false. Any idea where they could be coming from? Another question, do you think that a major institutional investor has taken a large short position in LEH? and if so, do you know who that investor is? Thanks in advance for your reply, Liz Blake
