booker5m, I read the same thing on the Yahoo Finance boards. Shocking.....but I wonder if IBCIQ (their stock symbol) has a stock take-over on their hands? Or something similar?
Doesn't say much about management, huh?

Does anyone know what the near future holds for our plant here in Emporia? We do not need another big layoff! I hope they can figure something out to keep this plant open.
