[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]Hi Gang, Last week I wrote that I had received a piece of information (from an un-named reliable source) that made me think that something was about to happen at Leica. Well, Leica's stock price is up over 40% in the past few days. The price of the stock in Euros has gone from a low 7.10 to close at 10.10 today. This from a company who's stock has generally traded BELOW it's 38 day average for the past 6 or 7 months. I do not know for sure what is happening. I have checked sources in Europe and have come up with nothing. But, you don't get a move like that in a company's stock for no reason. If I were to guess, I would say that Leica has been bought out by or merged into another company, or a change in top management is about to occur. The other reason for the big jump in the stock price could be that someone has figured out a way to get rid of that warehouse full of R8s. Just kidding. If anyone knows something and wants to share it with the group, but doesn't want to post it themselves, you can e-mail it to me at m6rf@yahoo.com. You will be identified only as a "reliable un-named source". Kind regards, Bill __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Talk to your friends online with Yahoo!
