No Agilent, not a single source unfortunately. Have been on the lookout for a street rumors site but can't find any on the net. So have to surf here & there. As I did it for my own info, I decided to share it with fellow Traderji members.

Friends,

I have started this thread for all to share street talk that they hear, news, unconfirmed & confirmed reports etc., so all of us make some sense out of this madness that we call "Markets". Only thing that one needs to ensure that it should be plausible. So far I seem to be the only one contributing. All are welcome!

Anyway, now onto what I learnt here & there:
