An update on the "Is Standard Pacific for Sale?" Post

I blogged earlier this week about a story in the L.A. Times theorizing that builder Standard Pacific might be for sale. Last night at a networking event, I got an update: there was a conference call on the company's most recent earnings, and as part of that call, management discussed that a sale was one of many possibilities available to the company, but that there were no plans to do so. The Times article made it seem like they were moving in that direction, but my source said it was stated simply because public companies are obligated to divulge all possibilities to their shareholders.
