Mostly OT to Paul,

The "quiet period" is usually not a SEC imposed requirement (except in the case of IPOs or secondaries); rather it's something subject to each company's discretion.

The SEC is frowning to an increasing degree re selective disclosure to the privileged few wherein material information is provided to some ahead of the masses of individual investors.

The definition of material information is slowly being expanded to include any and all information which may cause the price of the stock to move.

Nice to see us back to 44 at noon.

FWIW,
Ian.

Hi Paul,..Re:.quiet period is imposed to the company before earnings announcement and not to analysts who can just blabber their mouth whatever direction they choose.

A lot of the blabbering may have to do with options expiration this Friday. Don't you remember the bombs ML's Kurlack used to drop on INTC right before options expiration? Dell is heavily traded in options so maybe it's to somebody's interest not to have such a run-up in price prior to Friday.

Just my guess,

Lee
