Robert, I easily flow with your thoughts as they are rooted in the common sense and lessons in life. But I was surprised with a couple observations you made, as I held opposite views. (1) There are a lot of lurkers out there... My impression was that 99% of all gpgi shareholders entered long ago as in years when the hype was sky high and the price of a share was over $1. As I type this in I don't have any idea what the highest share price ever was, and if it was ever over $3 then I would wonder how a company could hype a dream of riches without anything "in hand" as proof of existence and extraction. For me a share price under $1, especially under 15 cents is a gamble where one agrees that the hype has as a better chance to be a lie than the delivery of the goods promised. So back to the lurker focus, I expect 99% who came in, came in over $1 and have written this gpgi off as a scam and dumped their shares long ago as in years. Thats why I see no lurkers here. Also, those that do post on this thread and those thru the sag and other type groups I know will read this thread, but only as folks watching and inactive. (2) ...if you are an investor in this company, and do not have this in your bookmarks. IMO, you better... I understand this really as you saying that each day one who hold gpgi shares should check out the company web site even if no news is on the wire. My take was that no one checks into the company web site until after a news release. But then thats points to my "clue" alert, as if the other threader or you did not notice the update on the company web site, then to me to this very moment the news would be hidden. But maybe something else happened? doug
