He can not. No way. No smile. No money. No issue. No brain. Nothing. Just Nothing.

Just talked to my dad (used to be bigwig at Fortune 500 company) and he did some quick research: said that the guy who resigned was the son of the vice-chair, and that the new head of the internet division is related to the CEO and that it looked like a family power struggle or family problem. FWIW

Message boards Guidelines used by 'SHORTIES' & other disruptive personalities: 1. Be anonymous, of course. 2. Use 10% fact and 90% suggestion in one's posts. Facts give credibility, while suggestion does the "sell". 3. Let others "help" you learn about a stock thereby developing rapport and a support base. 4. Use multiple handles, but develop a unique style for each. 5. Use multiple ISPs. 6. Start each new handle slowly to build acceptance. 7. Occasionally, use two handles to "discuss" an issue. 8. Do not show all your cards at once when slamming a stock. It's a war - it's ok to lose a battle as long as you save enough ammo to win the war. 9. Know your enemies - they will end up being your best weapons. 10.Only slam until the tide starts to turn. Let doubt carry the stock back with the tide. 11.Maintain an appearance of being open minded but a slant in either direction is acceptable. 12.Don't appear meek. No one follows the meek. 13.Strike just as your opponent starts to gather momentum but not before or you lose your sting. 14.Don't worry if people peg you for a slammer. The doubt will remain and that's what you are after. 15.If pegged, put up a brief fight, then let them feel they've won. This puts their guard down within a few days and your other handles can take over from there. 16.When slamming a stock, the intent is to minimize its rise, not to create an instant plunge. 17.To slam a stock requires you only to kill the dream not the company. 18.Use questions to invoke critical thinking and use statements to reinforce. 19.You can be liberal in your questions but be specific and precise in your statements. 20.Don't lie. 21.When slamming, encourage research beyond calling the company.You know people are far too lazy and it's only doubt you are after, not confirmation. 22.When slamming, discourage people from taking the company's word - encourage them to seek outside proof. If the company's history is bad, point them there. 23.When slamming, refer to missed deadlines and weak financials. 24.When slamming, if the price rises, blame it on a temporary mass reaction to a press release rather than real interest in the stock. Point out low volume and emphasize the selling. 25.Pretend to share the same concerns by learning what they want to hear. 26.And above all else, be unpredictable.

Please, company after company announcing they are going to sell on the internet, then insiders start to file their 144's. Women smell perfume when buying. 2000 perfumes and you can't smell one of them. The company could not make it even with over 200 retail stores. CEO probably resigned today in shock. He probably thought they were going chapter 11 but now that it was hyped he can now sell his stock and retire in style. Look for those 144's , there will be many. floyd
