and there's no news of anything else in the pipeline.

But the beauty of the pipeline is you only know for sure when the news comes out the end - and by then its too late to get on board. It's what's coming down the pipeline that's the important part. And with what I believe is, I for one am happy to have a chunk in the .70's, and I'm happy to have picked up more today. If it wants to stick here for a little, I'm not going to complain. It'll be small potatoes when the big news arrives, and an opportunity for me to pick up a little bit more.

>>I haven't sold any either, and don't intend to. But i can see why i should have<<

Unfortunately, you can't have it both ways!

If you don't intend on selling then you have to accept that the stock will go through ups and downs along the way. Second guessing and saying that you probably should have sold, when you really don't intend on selling seems to me to be recipe for disaster and sleepless nights. Sorry for being blunt, however my advice (even if you haven't asked me for it) is to make a longer term decision on where the company is headed, then stick by your decision, and don't second guess yourself.

If you fully understand what is coming down the pipe, and this has caused you to believe that something fundamental has changed about the company and its plans - and you don't like it, then get out of the stock.

Now, if nothing has changed your feelings about its potential - and the stock drops, then I suggest you view any dip in price as a buying opportunity.

marcos for someone that owns the stock and was happy buying a couple of days ago you sure post negative thoughts without a single fact to back them up.

how we could get whacked back to .70 on the revelation that deals may be smaller than previously thought.

The dollar value of the deals is not going to change only the number of deals is going to change. I can't imagine how any informed, intelligent investor would not find an approach similar to ICGE/Softbank with the right strategic partners a huge plus for the stock. If anything I see this as a postive development for the stock and not a negative one.

The medsite deal is dragging on a bit here

Medsite.com has always said it was going to do the IPO in late fall. The thread, myself included, were the ones guessing at a Sept. IPO. According to Medsite.com if it isn't done in late fall than it will be done in the first couple of weeks of Jan. Since the S1's are not filed I would assume that they are more likely looking at Jan. IPO which is only a month or two past their initial estimate. I guess it comes down to your definition of "dragging on".

and there's no news of anything else in the pipeline.

How do you come to this conclusion??? Unless you have some inside source at the company, which I am fairly sure you don't, there is no way of knowing they won't come out with a series of great news releases starting tomorrow. They are in talks with numerous companies so I would say that the pipeline could be jammed packed with news and we just don't know about it.

So much is riding on perception of the quality of our people,

The perception of quality???? Are you saying that the past records of these people or made up??? Quality is Quality. Maybe you should take another look at the history of the management team and the deals they have been involved with.

and inevitably people will ask themselves what they've done for us lately.

According to the company the number of deals being viewed by JDX is steadly increasing and numerous contacts are being made. What have they done for us lately??? They have been busting their asses trying to find us the best deals on the market and not throwing our money away on the kind of deals done by the 2-bit VSE penny shells. Medsite.com was a great deal and nobody can argue that fact. If they come out with deals of similar quality it is unlikely that the investing public will not sit up and take notice. Wait until you see the news before you critize management for not making the best moves for JDX shareholders.

Best Regards
KEITH

Sorry if my post was a little harsh but you sure managed to push the wrong button.

marcos, pretty frustrating eh? LOL! I've resorted to trading this puppy for beer money now, something I criticized others for some time back. Sheesh, talk about hypocritical! Still have the old core position though, just in case. The Street Wire spin was good for a dime for me, now looking for trading shares in the .60's again.
