Athiest -

Mike makes very valid points and conclusions. You don't have to be an "expert" to figure out the basics of investing and researching a company such as ACTV.

A person who has done his homework is one to be taken seriously regardless of how much or even if, he has invested in the company.

Mike, thanks for your "book". What amazes me is you try to come through as an expert. You though bought IATV at $ 2 and sold with a loss

Because I knew it was dead money. It was. For 2+ years. Seems like a good decision to me in hindsight (although I could have probably waited a couple months and sold at $2 since it fluctuated so much.

you have admitted that your wife will not allow you to trade the "real $" as you lost to much.

Also because I'm a grad student and she's the one pulling in the $, and we need a new car soon and want to start a family, so the real money is invested in things we jointly agree on.

How can anybody take you serious?

Because I don't hide behind a name like "the Atheist" and I lay all my cards on the table. I post my trades, my concerns, my background, and my biases. If you disagree with me, fine. You're long, I'm sitting on the side because my money is tied up in another stock (GOTO). I missed the blip from 11 to 13. You didn't. That's a 15% jump.
