Everyone: As a matter of integrity, it's occurred to me that I should mention that an acquaintance of mine is buying shares now; I hope it's obvious that I'm doing nothing to reduce the price of the stock, though I'm glad for him that he's able to buy the quantity he wants at these prices (I suggested he buy under $1 U.S., and to buy in small lots... which is something I'd suggest to anyone. He didn't indicate what price would be "too much", and I didn't make it my business to ask). Obviously, $1 seems a long way away, and it's to his credit that he's willing to go up on the price (bid up at 30c now after someone sold 20,000), but also not putting in any large quantity orders which would drive it up too fast. Normally, I wouldn't mention the fact someone I know is buying, and I don't want to set up an expectation, but since the price is so low and due to the quantity he indicated, I just felt I should. Like I said, let 'em sell low... but not because someone I recommended the stock to is buying! Of course, all subject to change when the gentleman from China makes his move... IMHO. The people at AQB consider him honorable, and expect the ink to dry "any day now". Haven't heard from you in a while, Sillen, so thought I'd make this one to you, get your attention if need be! Hope you're hanging in there. Fubsy and Doug, too! My short-term optimism is increasing dramatically; long-term has always been strong, as you all know. |
