Nevin- Thanks for the recommendation:"lurk (read posts) for a while and collect information from all sources including 10K 10Q's etc. Ask questions when you feel you have some basic understanding of a company's business and/or financials." So you collect information from 'all sources' before you ask a question? Super. I personally don't like reading 10K and 10Q's or much lawyer-speak for that matter. I looked in a standard source for definitions of new tech terms, and it did not help. I also looked through the 'many' previous posts on the subjects, and they were no help either, so I asked the thread, not just BD and you. I don't think it is unreasonable to ask those two questions. Why do you think it was unreasonable? Is that not the whole idea of a public board? If someone says something you'd like to know more about, do you go straight to EDGAR, or do you ask them? I still haven't received a reply, so I do not think it is common knowledge. I do feel I have a basic understanding of their business and financials. I have been a shareholder of PMCS for four glorious years, going back to SERA and a low cost basis. Considering there must be a number of intelligent people following this thread, it is truly too bad that a 'new guy' (read lurker) gets such poor treatment when he asks two questions, which seem to be too easy for BD and Nevin to answer, so instead they write messages about value added, instead of adding any value. Care to add some value and define ASSP and say exactly what real estate PMC is grabbing (BD's words)? I usually lurk, seeing many worthless messages and a few valuable ones. When someone posts information that could be valuable, as BD did on the 28th, I was within my rights as an SI member to post a question. It was not the slightest bit derogatory. Read it.
