A&P, Thanks for straightening the whole situation out.

The exhaustive research you have done on the situation has no doubt ensured financial well being for countless widows and orphans.

Self appointed "Truth Seekers" like yourself are in such short supply these days.

On behalf of all the schmucks, we toast your selfless grass roots public relations bonanza.

Sid I see you took My Sell advice to heart and you did well..good for you..but how about the poor schmucks that bought it on hype and no substance

Anthony,

The way I look at it is that there is gambling and there is investing. Anyone who buys a $2 stock they have never heard of on the basis of one press release is gambling. I don't feel sorry for people who lose their money in Vegas. I don't feel sorry for the people who bought this stock yesterday at 8.

I did feel sorry for the folks (myself included) who did do some research into this company and decided it was a good risk at $4-$5 a year ago and bought at that time only to see it tank down to 1 1/4. I hope many of those people used yesterday's ridiculous rampage to fill their pockets so they can buy even more of the stock in a couple of weeks when all the whoopla is over. I know I plan to.

Sid

PS
As for your advice, thanks, but I don't take advice from unknowns on the web. They usually have their own agenda.

THe poor schmucks should do some DD before they buy based on a PR. From the volume, it is clear that the daytraders got ahold of this thing and put it in play. I can hardly feel sorry for them.

Nor do I think that FSTW did anything wrong. They stated they had a contract with a particular group within MSFT. They admitted to you the details when you asked them. They have no obligation to disclose the terms of the deal in the PR.
