SCO news (we are Linux Lunes :-)

[Jerry Feldman]

Groklaw has a pointer to an article that appears on the Yahoo message
boards:
<http://messages.finance.yahoo.com/Stocks_%28A_to_Z%29/Stocks_S/threadview?m=tm&bn=2942&tid=411981&mid=412019&tof=35&rt=2&frt=2&off=1>
The BLOG is posted by vanburgerstein
It would be better if not for paranormal investigator Pamela Jones and
her spin-cycle-only information washing machine wasn't still running. I
believe SCOG's primary mission is now selling shares of its own stock
as it can release a massive number of them without getting
authorization from the current shareholders. This can be done with
so-called death-spiral deals but also through high-pressure sales
tactics where a broker is given a big commission for unloading shares
of a stressed security. These operations work hand in glove with
"communications" companies to coordinate sales with press releases and
such. Private brokers can pretend to have secret knowledge backed up by
innuendo on message boards like Y! by paid market support staff. Linux
lunes can be easily dismissed, but Groklaw has an air of credibility
that potential investors will trip over during google searches. That's
why paranormal investigator PJ is such a thorn and preventing the stock
from realizing its full potential. There are many public companies that
sell large amounts of stock with essentially nothing but press releases
and a rented office. SCOG really has a physical product and IMO that
positions them nicely. Again, the problem is Groklaw. Bad news fades in
to the distance but Krocklaw is not biodegradable. To get to the moon
we have to plug PJ's pie-hole. To the moon!!!
