Here's a classic BW BS release: biz.yahoo.com Note this paragraph: GS Telecom, Ltd., is ''standing on the shoulders of such giants'' in global-telecommunications as IBM (NYSE:IBM - news), Microsoft (Nasdaq:MSFT - news), Intel (Nasdaq:INTC - news), Dell (Nasdaq:DELL - news), America Online (NYSE:AOL - news), AT&T (NYSE:T - news), MCI/Worldcom (Nasdaq:WCOM - news), Compaq (NYSE:CPQ - news), Hewlett-Packard (NYSE:HWP - news), Sun Microsystems (Nasdaq:SUNW - news), Lucent (NYSE:LU - news), Cisco Systems (Nasdaq:CSCO - news), Advanced Micro Devices (NYSE:AMD news), Applied Material (Nasdaq:AMAT - news), Yahoo (Nasdaq:YHOO news), Lycos (Nasdaq:LCOS - news), Excite (Nasdaq:XCIT - news) and many others to change the landscape of computing, communications, entertainment ,and e-commerce. Then look at the price and volume for the two days following this release. Somebody make some serious money out of this deal. I wonder if an investor who bought GARD based on this release might have a case against BW?
