FormerXBC Inc XEBEQ

Very important to remember

[tamaracktop]

Recently I pointed out that people may be too quick to invariably point the finger at Kurt  for Xebec's past Q4 debacle. Similarly, people here have often complained recently about leaked news resulting in little reaction or even negative reactions by the market after announcements by the company.

They've done so assuming that Xebec is the only possible guilty party.

That was very unusual volume in the States this afternoon, where Xebec closed up on the day.

We have to remember that any news from Xebec, whether it be an acquisition or a contract, invariably involves two companies.

When Xebec receives an order, it's not news to the company placing the order.
That company's insiders, and even general management, are fully aware that this news isn't yet public.
They know it well in advance it being disclosed publicly.

The more business Xebec does with companies in the US, and the more it establishes its presence there, the less obvious it becomes who the guilty party is if any undisclosed news is "leaked".

There are always two companies involved at the very least.

The more people who know a secret, the less likely it is to stay one.
