You are entitled to your opinion. The notion you present that NOPT is not worth anything above some reasonable target is both true in accordance with what one will believe it's worth, and unknown to any single person in accordance with what others will believe it's worth. You seem to be self centered, as if YOUR estimation is the only one that counts- hence you conclude I missed something. If you presume NOPT is worth $15 and no more, you won't go long if it gets there- I however, might. YOU might rudely proclaim that longs are DDless stupid sheep suckers, Someone else might insist that somethings fishy because NEONs CEO and Caxton Rhodes both use the same internet service provider at home, they've both visited Niagra Falls in the past, and they've both played on the same golf course several times within hours of each other, though they deny any relationship- hey, if sheep will listen to you, it just might bolster your position, eh? Generally, longs will post positively, shorts negatively, and that is logically consistent and denotes nothing but honesty. It's up to the reader to decide when foul lines have been crossed. I'm a reader and I decided, if you hadn't noticed. If NOPT shorts become "wealthier" at 15, I may well buy. I may buy at 35, never having seen the price below 26 in the meantime. Time will tell. The future is not mine to see. My future feelings about NOPT's current business and growth prospects, available funds, and my sense of timing will determine if I buy- could be today, who knows? Perception of the future is as KEY to stock price as is current financial performance, and I can tell you that a highly respected and extremely successful Futurist prognosticator just a month ago decided to tell his subscribers how HE feels about the future of NOPT. One thing I can assure you: I have never lied about my position in a stock on these threads. By the by, this is NOT the first thread I've typed to without holding a position in its subject stock, not by a long shot. P.S. See the chart of TERN, note the latest Gilder DD induced run-up and todays price. Then think about my motivations again, or not. :-) Freedom works, Dan B
