<<My fear is if they cross into the single digits they'll be written off completely, if they haven't been already.>> I emailed Vulcan Ventures....maybe you should too <G>...it's true they got a lot of shares at a very low price BUT they could significantly enhance the value of their investment if they increased their stake in NETP. Look what happened to GNET and others when Paul Allen announced a major investment. NETP's technology is also the kind of stuff that Paul Allen's new e-commerce pioneers (like Mercata.com) could really leverage in some exciting new ways. IMO, he needs to be a MUCH more active investor in this company. I understand your frustration and I have lost a lot of money (on paper)...I was fortunate to trim my holdings quite a bit when we were back up in the 20s. Yet, NETP is still one of my top 5 positions and I really believe in this company. Unfortunately, not enough investors do right now <G>. I expect that this could change in the next few months.
