Michael O: Not that it's any of your concern, I am 34 with 4 kiddies 5 and under, work full-time, and I do still have the other 3k shares I picked up in the $22's. But, so far this year I also have cleared over $760k on MSGI, alone, since I bought a pile in the $7 and $8's and sold the majority of my position between $24 and $47. So, my dabbling back in the $22's and in the $12's again is my way of holding this one long term and lowering my average, slightly, on my remaining shares. I do believe in this company, its vision, and its industry long term. I further believe MSGI will come back and come back strong. Thanks for inquiring. And yes, I do have strong nerves.

OT Michael, just want to put something out there for your consideration and the consideration of others. It's probably a good idea to focus on your own investments instead of those of others on this thread. Quite frankly, I dropped out of posting on SI for awhile because I simply became tired of reading posts (as mine is, here) that didn't add any substantive value to making an investment decision. It became overly tedious for me to continue reading about all the second guessing going on. And what occurs here is nothing compared to the RB discussion thread on nearly every topic. Found that the tone of various posts (not necessarily yours)requiring news releases, announcements, yadda, yadda, yadda was affecting my ability to analyze relative investment opportunities from a long term perspective, not only in MSGI, but elsewhere, too. I know the threads are a sort of therapy for everyone, myself included, but would it be alright if I asked everyone just to stick with relevant, factual information(and in lighter moments, Blue Mountain greeting cards or your version of it)? Everyone on this thread knows there's been enough grief around two or three times over, for everyone that's held any position in this stock. It's time, I would think, for all of us to get over it. Kindly excuse this request if I inadvertently offended anyone because it is not my intention to do so. But I do think your dead to nuts wrong about there being more sellers than buyers in MSGI. Take a look at the block trades. Fresh money, in size, is going into this stock. JMO Mark
