AJ:

I think MST covered things pretty well regarding your comments earlier.

Let me tell you that I join the other longs in pounding the shorts back at every opportunity. After almost 9 years of active trading, I do not short as I do not have the temperament (you normally find me on the pass line at Binion's for the same reason). I like the buzz of being on a winning team, and I do not enjoy making money off others misfortune (maybe you agree with that notion).

However, in my zest to pound away, I misplaced my judgement regarding the readership here and where most of us are at cost-basis-wise in astn. That was inappropriate on my part.
I'm in at the basis stated due to some dumb luck, and help from my broker buddy in Houston (who sold out early on and still regrets it deeply), and as far as that goes, am still aboard due to the helpful hints MST regularly posts. Can you imagine understanding the depth of the ATG business plan without his counsel? I can't. In large part, the complexity and newness of it all explains our current predicament quite well (and allows the shorts, here and elsewhere to dance freely among us). Hence, I feel the "sincere need" to pound the bastards back whenever possible.

Again, my apologies are extended for the unintended meaning in my comments. My greatest hope is that today's investor in astn sees his stake climb 450% in due course! We will succeed!
