For anyone who claims to be following this play, and even if they are in it for the near long term, that is compared to those of us are in until the end game(buy out), how can you say this is NORONTS bad news. The way NOT's stock got hammered is a perfect example of how the big guys control the markets. For example if Mc Donald's has an issue in their restaurant's food quality, it's not Wal Marts fault, and I highly doubt Wal Marts share price would drop. But I would sure expect McDonald's share price to drop. In our case this did not occur. Can you spell "manipulation".
