ithasnospaces,
Can't really see how you could consider me to be disingenuous when my post was nothing but candid and frank. I wrote what I wrote and feel what I feel without regard to receipt of shares. Also, I'm not under any obligation to ETPI. I was never "hired" by ETPI, never had a contract. The 10K shares was essentially a gift for doing an awful lot of homework on my own to help them on their internet ventures and to give them some general advice on how to better word press releases with links and such to give them a little more pizazz and more readership. Basically, I was being an active investor in trying to help my investment grow, as I do with many companies whose stock I own (see EBLD, for example). It was unsolicitated but much appreciated, and an indication of how Doug Butcher feels towards supportive investors.
I do believe that we have to give Doug & Company the 1st two quarters to complete their "Focus & Finish" objectives, and then see the results of their efforts in the 3rd and 4th qtrs. Like I said before, if we don't see a turnaround in net income in the 3rd and 4th qtrs, I think ETPI, Doug, and the investors will consider that to be a failure to meet their objectives and the stock will most likely stay at these levels. However, if they do start posting profits, then that, combined with the renewal of the AFNAF contracts and everything that comes with it (along with the potential to expand upon the services provided with the AFNAF contracts, which is really their bread and butter), will get this stock moving up again. And we've all seen how quickly this thing can move when it decides to.
