"Wouldn't FWR and cliffs see something like this comming. Why would they schedule a meeting before the bell??"

My guess is that they have something special to start the day to offset what ever NOT may have. Perhaps it will come down to who has the sexiest news and whose will move the market the most. I would bank on NOT having greater possibilities than Cliff's. But we'll see. One must consider that NOT has been planning this move for a very long time. If they haven't planned well enough to sway the masses from a company they've openly ...... "irritated" then they are not who we thought they were. The clock is ticking. I expect good results.
