Jim Pickerell has published a story to his subscribers regarding rumors that Stockbyte will soon announce that it has been sold for a price of at least US$200MM.  The buyer is not known, but Pickerell speculates about whether it's Getty, Corbis or Jupiter.  The report elicited the following humorous reply from Stockbyte's plain-speaking CEO, Jerry Kennelly:

Jim,

How many times have I told you to stop smoking that stuff you took up in Vietnam?

For God's sake man, it'll be the death of you. And $200 million? You've got to be kidding. Do you know it's nearly four euros for a pint of Guinness here now? Not a cent less than 500 million - and that's euros - the dollar isn't looking too healthy these days!

Thanks for brightening up my Sunday.
Jerry
