I'm sure they (management) are. I love Cree myself and anything that increases their value is OK with me, they're one of our bigger suppliers. It was really just a joke on my part and what I meant was that in today's ultra-competitive LED market and with businesses more and more willing to do whatever it takes to gain an edge, it wouldn't surprise me if it came out that Cree started the rumor. I wasn't suggesting that I felt they had done so. Yes the Eric and Jocelyn debacle back in 2003 was a strange chapter in Cree's history. Thank goodness that there was no merit to their lawsuit. I wonder what Eric and his wife are up to now? hmmm.... Dear Walt

They might have been motivated to do so a couple months ago when it was at 15. Now that they are at 25 or so, shareholders should be relatively happy. I have been a Cree holder since shortly after the IPO, and it has been a wild ride. Remember when Eric Hunter accused the company of illegal activity? Remember when LED sales slowed? I really do not think management has the time or inclination to try and manipulate the stock price. Their focus is on growing the comapny. Cree manipulate their stock?
