[10:25] {larisa} only fair :)
[10:26] {Threei} yeah, it was my rumor candidate for what, couple days now?
[10:26] {Threei} yessss!!!
[10:26] {Threei} VVUS Hearing renewed takeover chatter circulating (11.55, +0.31, 2.76%)
[10:27] {Threei} BCRX, fizzled out for now
[10:27] {Threei} trailed second half stopped b/e
[10:28] {Threei} so, I believe we have rumor machine mechanics figured out
[10:29] {Threei} number of stocks that had nice runs with some news, then calmed down and retreated,
[10:29] {Threei} those become target for rumor mongering
[10:29] {Threei} idea is simple:
[10:29] {Threei} names is fresh in traders' minds,
[10:29] {Threei} name
[10:29] {Threei} they remember it can run,
[10:30] {Threei} they view it as second opportunity
[10:30] {Threei} and it looks plausible in light of recent news
[10:30] {ese} L lvs .71
[10:30] {Threei} so they hit it hard
[10:31] {Threei} Market Internals update at 10:30amET
[10:31] {Threei} - NYSE volume 325M shares, about 25% above its three-month average; decliners lead advancers by 1.1:1.

[10:31] {Threei} - VIX index +0.6% to just below 24.00
[10:31] {ese} out lvs .75 +.04
[10:31] {Threei} it's kind of hard to nail exact name and order, but VVUS is great example
[10:31] {Threei} we predicted yesterday that rumor on it will be out soon
[10:33] {Threei} OK IACI
[10:33] {Threei} 1:2
[10:33] {Threei} let's make up our collective mind
[10:33] {Threei} to me, looks like 1/4 more out,
[10:33] {Threei} stop to under .80
[10:33] {Threei} and offer last portion at .95 or so
[10:34] {nemo} Magoo will do .949
