Doc,
I thought you said you were a professor. Please tell us you do not really take thetruth's summary seriously. For one, he only comes up with a number of 184 million naked shorts and he arrives at that with completely unsubstantiated assumptions, questionable claims, third party hearsay, and outright guesses. I can't believe you feel his findings could in any way be considered statistically valid. It is exactly that type of flawed logic presented as "truths" over on RB that makes that message board a joke.
And, if you have followed RB for any period of time you must know that thetruth has been totally wrong on all his previous very assertive claims of merger completion dates, even while hinting strongly that he has inside information.
