It's so much crap, really.
RTP is a 70 billion market cap company, almost twice the size of TXU.
We all know commodities such as copper and nickel are near all time highs, so this is a little way of goosing the share price before bailing for those spreading the rumors.
These 'rumors' are well places, self-serving, and transparent bullshit.
Someone should really launch an investigation into the rumor mill, which reporters are part of.
