This stock and others associated with this "hot air" play, was a classic "pump and dump". The touts that were promoting this thing hid behind handles like--Cash Money, bearcatbob, Johnlag and red. Makes you wonder what their real identities are, but then again if we knew that, this thing more than likely would never have gotten off the ground.

Just think, this thread was started on November 28, 1996 and between that date and November 17, 1998 (almost two years later) there were 141 posts to the thread. Between November 17 of this year and December 9, a period of three weeks, you had 707 posts to the thread. Most of the posts were pure BS and they involved making almost categoric statements about something that absolutely speculative. There were few naysayers because touts do not broach dissent.

Anyone who got burnt on this play has no one to blame but themselves. You gave your money to faceless, nameless pump and dumpers who are laughing tonight as they count the money they made from the gullible.

P.S. On Novemeber 25 I had warned that this thing was nothing but a play. Another black eye for the resource sector, the media (gullible enough to sap it up like usual), the pseudo-analysts like Peter Linder and so on.

Good luck.
