I doubt this is a 'quiet period' per SEC regs, as most pinkies don't follow SEC regs (probably b/c the SEC rarely gets involved w/ pinkies). However, some pinkies do go 'quiet' when they are working on mergers or joint ventures. To my knowledge, MLXO has not utilized a self-induced quiet period in the past. However, a quiet period does not meant that a company can not communicate w/ investors. In addition, rules regarding a quiet period were relaxed back in 2005.
