could there have been worse news before open?, page-7

When you weigh it up the jurnos are a pretty powerfull lot, one poorly researched story on something like BBI and down comes the price...but I wonder..is it just possible that a jurno who wants a position on a certain stock , could conceivably rant about how desperate things are getting with that certain stock, wait for the price to tumble then have the wife buy some at a lower price. maybe i'm looking for reds under the bed but anyone think this is possible.
