Van, my comments were not specific to HRT, but more general based on my experience with several public-traded companies.

I agree how companies can effect timing of completed deals. However. as to manipulating the timing of announcements, there is always the possibility that the other party might walk, deciding the deal isn't worth waiting and waiting and waiting ...

As to HRT, I am not sure it has ever countered any bad news with good as there has been very few good PR's and none of any equivalent value to offset the bad ones.
