Now THIS is interesting (and profitable)...... Someone this morning on the PAIR thread posted a fake Bloomberg Web page that gave a news release that said that PAIR was being bought out for about 20 bucks. The stock price immediately began to rise. Turns out the Web page and story was a fake. I sold my position near the high as soon as I found out the story was bogus. Amazing though, the price is STILL holding up! I'd bet someone's going to prison for that little stunt. I oughta thank them for the profit though <g>. If you want to take a look at the fake page here's the URL 204.238.155.37 I doubt it will stay up for long though. Pretty good fake. Gee, anyone care to risk prison time to do the same for WSTL? That's about the ONLY way we'll see this dog rise. MTA
