I recall a similar 'tactic' a few years ago ....wasn't it SUNW who 'accidentally' leaked their very strong earnings on their web site ....Oops (I don't think so). However, a good word from IBM may not be enough to save the day. Look whats happening to QLGC now ...dumping further, now in the 45s. Glad I resisted temptation to buy a couple minutes ago at just over 47.
