Ron,

1)I agree with you that BETT share price should trade above $1.00 level by now. It is acting strange because something or someone is keeping the price down. Every time it move up, it is beaten down. I ask myself that question many times but can't seem to find the answer. However, I am not convinced that ET&T or an individual is manipulating this stock. I am novice in this area, may be you can shred some light, or share with us what you think.

2)You said :<Open for discovery and opinion. I try not to make these kinds of post on home posts because folks take them the wrong way. In most cases, post like this will put everyone on the defensive. No one will look. On my thread if I make this kind of post, hopefully folks will hunt and look to see if I am right or prove me wrong. That is why it is there>

Like I said before, I am an investor, but not a cult member. Being an investor, I like to know everything about the company that I put my hard earn money into (both pro and con). So if you have something on your mind, feel free to share with us here on this thread. I like to see everything open on the table an discuss about it. There are two things I detest the most: LOSING & SURPRISES.

There we go, now you know where I stand!

Dai

PS: I will visit your thread more often to learn more about other stocks; hopefully I will get some loose change from your picks and advices :)

Thanks Ron...appreciate your candor but I may be a bit slow to be able to follow your point. What is new?

If you think Tom is manipulating BETT prices to keep them down I suppose I have two immediate questions:

1) Why in the world would he want to hold down the share price on BETT?

2) How in the world would he do it without the whole world knowing as would not any selling by an insider like Tom or ET&T have to be pursuant to an SEC filing?

This is not to question your suspicion (sp?) only trying to understand how you came to think Tom is behind this. I agree that something or someone is holding BETT down. I was a jerk to point at the MM's reflexively as that is who everyone likes to blame. I think MM's merely like to see lots of trades, regardless of what the price is actually.

My big question that I am too stupid to figure out and have puzzled over for some time is who is holding BETT down, how and why? Tom could be the answer I just can't figure it out.

Hmmmm...thanks for the food for thought. Still long and strong but I like being able to examine both the good and bad...it makes your decision less emotional and more stable either way you go on a stock.

Thanks! Hope we can work together to come up with some ideas and proof one way or the other.
