Just waiting for the company to progress to Phase II & III. Phase I looks to have gone pretty much as spelled out in the last quarterly report. Hopefully they will stay on the timelines presented at the SH meeting. "In March 1999, the SEC approved the Philadelphia Stock Exchange's ("PHLX") proposed rule change allowing the Company to begin to implement the VTS(TM) trading system. Company personnel and PHLX staff have completed preparatory system launch sessions and joint, full-scale production testing of the VTS(TM) and PHLX systems. In the next fiscal quarter (7/1-9/30) Ashton plans to begin a controlled, live trading period of the VTS(TM) on the PHLX with a group of institutional customers involving a limited number of securities. At the conclusion of this period, the Company plans to expand the number of users and securities."

Gee, a bit of selling going on. Down another 1/2 point today. You can rail against my motives, but the bottom line in investing is making money. You're right, I'll be out of here long before you. And I believe you when you say you'll be rah rahing like the cheerleader you are, 2 years from now. But if you're going to wait that long to make a few bucks....how smart is that? You could have sold your longs at 18....triple what it's worth today. Don't care when you got in....you tossed away a triple to date. If you wait 2 years to get it back (IF you get it back), you're a sucker. Sure, there are dollars to be made both ways, but you wouldn't admit that at 18...only now because AG and I were 100% correct in where the stock was heading. The place to make money long on ASTN is in the past. You can write your long justifications as to why you think ASTN is going to make you rich in the future, but who's going to believe you? You've been wrong so far and you attack and try to insult the only two people on this thread that have called this stock correctly. Bush League, Baby....I do have your money. You can say it's safe, but with all the 144s flying, don't you realize the keepers of your stock are selling you out? You need to learn more about investing. May I suggest a nice MF until that time?
