dribs and drabs?Why dribs and drabs? Well, call me paranoic but let us think a moment.
If they let the media know all they knew or guessed they would face the stock price would dive all at one time. By letting the news out in dribs and drabs there is an opportunity for "insiders" to liquidate in a controlled manner as other investors figured the stock had reached bottom time and time again, and of course bought, ultimately taking a beating, to the benefit of those "insiders".
