Stan--THANK GOD YOU'RE ALIVE!!!!!!! I was so concerned--I had this vision (I'm "brain-tied," as you know, so you'll have to forgive me...) that you'd been killed by the evil ETrade conspiratorial secret-agent spy-masters!! I WAS a little hurt that you called me "a nobody from a chat board." OUCH, Stan!! But, Stan, you're wrong--I AM SOMEBODY!!! (Jesse Jackson told me so). Thanks, though, for your concern about our investments. You noted that "their investment was well over 100 a share before the split and here we sit at less than 80 (split adjusted) as I type." Well, Stan, you can dry your eyes, big guy. I bought EGRP at $25 (pre-split) a little over six months ago--now it's at $160 (pre-split). Sure, it was higher several weeks ago, so were a hell of a lot of stocks like AOL, Amazon, AtHome, etc. That's what stocks do, Stan, they go up and they go down. EGRP will go higher when the market gets out of its current funk (and it will), and when it does those of us who are patient-longs will be sitting on huge piles of cash, while you'll be bitching about a non-existent conspiracy that you refuse to prove. Oh, and Stan--that knock at your door might not be an ETrade secret agent. It might be Elvis carrying pictures of Hitler who's still alive in Paraguay, living in a CIA-financed hacienda...
