Not that it is necessary to take sides on this issue but I would agree with Tim Luke. It sounded like a lot of crap given the time of the day and the reckless affect it had on trading for the rest of the day. I would have preferred to stay up 3/4 of a point and yes I do believe that the RUMOR ruined an otherwise nice day for FORE. Seems to me the rumor didn't do anything, and would have died quietly, had folks (like TL) not made a big stink about it. If it did have an effect on trading, which I sincerely doubt, it points out how many idiots are running around trying to make a quick buck by trading in and out of stocks on pathetic rumors. If so, the same idiots who bought the stock back down in the afternoon were the ones who bid it up in the morning. But of course rumors that predict good news (not that Len's was a rumor of bad news) are always acceptable, right? Or does anything go when the market is closed? jas.

I would agree with Tim Luke [...snip...] The rumor I heard (UNCONFIRMED)[...snip...] I don't get it; if you agree with Tim, why are you posting this?

I wish every one would give Len a break. He clearly identified his post as UNCONFIRMED. Additionally, he does have respectable posts. For everyone who is ANGRY at Len, please understand that you would not be so mean had he posted something you wanted to hear. I don't think Len's comment was powerful enough to manipulate the stock. I really don't. It is interesting and probably helpful to accept rumors as they are... RUMORS. And they should be posted as such. Len did that. I like AJ's rumor better - the one about the $37 buyout. But he also qualified his statement and UNCONFIRMED RUMOR. DD does include processing rumors heard. It includes knowing the company. It includes analyzing charts, etc. You can challenge any RUMOR, but do you all have to be mean? Len's passing of information is NOT similar AT ALL to that PAIR hoax. I wish you all well in FORE. Good night! MARU CAT
