Re: Bate's bait, or a good thing? You know what they say: desperate people do desparate things Could this purchase of stock be Bate's bait to slow down the slide of this stock? What makes me wonder is the token size of the purchase, 60000 shares? What is so important about it. This only has a symbolic value and is designed to show that all is fine and well at the farm. Hard to tell whether this is another bait from Bates to hook us again to one of his sinister plots. To play it safe always check your fingers when shaking hands with Bates and co.
