EBF,

As you seem unwilling or afraid to contact any company in which are thinking about investing or divesting to address your concerns and/or questions regarding due diligence, I would have to think the chances of you ever succeeding at making a dollar in the markets are slim to none if all you rely on is bull board poster opinions.

Of course you don't know "any reasons for the upward bounce" in LBE so far today. Could it be the simple fact that those in the market that do their due diligence and address their concerns with the company are seeing the potential that most here already know.

Stick with your ISM investment. You two are perfect match. You don't want to ask questions, and ISM doesn't want to give any answers.

Best
