Totally agree. When Forbes is reporting on it, it very well may be more than just a rumor. But, at the end of the day, until there is confirmation, trades based on rumors are never wise.
On the other hand, all we really need is BTC to shoot past 10.5k. If that happens on a rumor, so be it. At that point the momentum will likely be so strong that a confirmation to the negative might not cause a dump if we are well past 10.5k.
