Good detective work, OC. What's with the Salomon connection, I wonder? Who covers the Thing from there? And how long before this information shows up in the usual places? e.b.

Nothing but downhill from here. The biz rags are going to be all over this like a cheap suit this weekend, and the "elephants" have nothing further to gain from this charade. Vinik may be a sleazebag, but he's a smart sleazebag and he knows when it is time to leave a party through the back door. OC, I was really busy at work doing retail at a profit. I know it is something that Amazon does not do<G> Anyhow, I could not watch trading as closely as I would have liked, but there clearly were shares coming into the float on every upmove. It appears those "stretegic acquisitions" are going to be very costly in the long run. There appeared to be lots of small retail buyers taking 100 shares lots from much larger sellers. We are going to have some very unhappy retail buyers in six months or so. Glenn
