Negative posters working for market makers? Why, that, that would be unethical.<gg> I did warn everyone a week or so ago we would get no warning on the announcement. I was right. Unless there is a big pop up tomorrow everyone will get a chance to buy in cheap anyway. Runner

re: I've heard the possibility suggested that many of these negative posters who suddenly appeared in the last 10 days were actually paid touts of MMs (or MMs themselves) who tried to seed doubt and discontent in order to drive the price down (while they sucked up cheap shares) prior to the announcement. This would seem to explain their sudden appearance and disappearance here on the thread. That's an interesting idea, Bradpalm. I'm wondering... Usually the insiders who have such info are buying, bidding the price up and if the MMs were buying, wouldn't that also be bidding the price up? Also, how do you think the MM's found out in advance about the date of the announcement when this group didn't know? I'd like to understand... The dilution and the bad market and margin calls and wish to get cash out for put buying, all seem to be contributing factors to the lower stock price, but that certainly doesn't rule out the kind of scenario you raise. By the way, thank to you for encouraging me to hold onto all my expensive shares for all this time. I'm starting to think they may pay off. LOL! Linda
