OPINION

RICHARD MILLS, District Judge.

Seizing on a few vague statements from management, the plaintiffs try to turn bad corporate news into a securities class action.

Because the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act ("PSLRA") forbids such alchemy, we generally affirm the district court's dismissal, although we reverse its disposition regarding the claims brought under the Securities Act of 1933, 15 U.S.C. § 77k.
