You missed my point. Although I didn't know of this tj guy before last week I gather that there have been many of his alerts that went south. And someone can argue that the only reason they were north to start with was his doing. The question is, is zany up now just because of his doing? I think not. Without his pumping this one would be up on the announcement when it comes and probably stay there on fundamentals and the season. I am in zany from my own DD which happens to be reflected in the content of the post i left. And while it may not be the best reason to invest in a company because another like it (etys) may be overbought the point i am making is that the street does make such comparisons. And why should i deny myself $$ if the street wants to lift zany to etys altitude. Another example of just such an analyst's comparison recently is PUMA to phone.com. You can check the chart and see what's happening there and yes, there is as much bashing and hyping going on there as in zany. You see the post has nothing to do with who made the release (tj). It was the analysis i was sharing. One thing you have to admit though is that as obnoxious as tj's gang behaves at least we can no longer complain as was a few weeks ago that no one knows who zany is. That, i believe has changed forever. good luck..............tomster

I agree with Tom G. TJ cannot make the price move without other compelling factors... undervaluation in its sector, a pending online store (remember buy on the rumour, sell on the news?) and a holiday season with tons of cash to be spent by all us nouveau riche!!! I've already had to stop my kids from using their allowance to buy Pokemon crap every week... TJ speculates like many of us, and as Tom mentioned, he gives ZANY great exposure. Why complain, you'll only feed an already morbidly obese ego!!
