Rumor Roundup With regard to market rumors, today closes out the week on a quiet note. To recap this morning's chatter, we note that a rumor circulated suggesting Proctor & Gamble (PG) could be interested in Clorox (CLX). We'd note that yesterday it was rumored that PG was interested in NWL. It was also rumored that Google (GOOG) could be interested in Akamai (AKAM), we note the stock has not reacted positively to the renewed speculation, but options volume is elevated in AKAM. As mentioned before, while many rumors circulate during the day, and the validity of the source of these rumors can be questionable, the speculation may increase volatility in the near term.
