If news came that the deal was dead, pps would jump as though this had life again. hmmmm round 2 with a price pump? maybe the deal ISN'T dead after all and this HUGE deal in the works is just taking longer than anticipated. (You know-- bad shell and all). So-- news at this point 1 way or other would push the price up. News that we were scammed would have negative effect. I tend to think that if this was a scam-- it was pretty poor. If this is real its verry possible that the new CEO is not ready to devulge anything until all the details are worked out, and wrinkles are gone.
