"By the way, Noam and Mr. Glazier said they don't feel that the shorting fiasco propagated over the Internet had any effect on the price of the stock, but they said their only source for short interest is on the Internet??? SEC found the Internet such a significant problem that they announced new, aggressive enforcement and monitoring procedures of posts. I did let them know we were upset that management did not respond to this issue. I should have saved my breath, but it made me feel better." signist, If this is the case the SEC certainly needs to go back to the situation with MRVC in May and review those events. Events on this thread appear to correlate with an escalating short position over the next 3 months that was associated in turn with the substantial drop in share price in August. I think it makes sense that the business strategy people of any company would be interested in these events, especially if they seem to be interested in hostile takeovers. George D.
