Cube Yes we have all learned to have a more stable outlook -especially after a quadruplicate. I now feel the burden is on Dale Fuller to perform without any room for mishaps. I still believe in the long term future prospects but it will take allot for Wall St. to step in full steam again. Re: "By the way, that was one hell of a recommendation to your relatives to buy INPR below 3. Wish the hell I would have done that. They all better keep a prominent place in their wills for you after that prescient call!" If you will remember correctly (I cannot find the post) just prior to Del's storm-out I had made a seemingly irresponsible investment recommendation that went something like: "Invest in INPR as if you through your money out the window and forget about it for the next two years." This was less than two years ago and I remember your response was something to the effect; "Now that explains everything, etc." <g> I had a very resounding belief that INPR wouldn't fail due to their customer base renewal and the neglect that Wall ST had towards it. And you did help me when your negative logic was towards the high PE ratio. I though well hell they haven't had a dividend in years so any selling was from shorts and whomever had the stock went through all the negative and would no doubt hold on till the bitter end or at least that was a safer bet at the time to me. But all in all I guess luck has much to do with it. Peace. TTOSBT P.S. My relatives (two nephews)one bought the other was told by his broker to forget about wasting his time. The purchase was not enough to will out but he certainly appreciates it. He got in just over $4 and is holding on for retirement money no doubt. After his first purchase the stock went down once again below $3 and his wife called me for explanation. I had offered to buy at his cost (above the price then) just because I felt bad but when she told him he said absolutely not! So not only did he make some money his wife (an added benefit he tells me) experiences her fears in silence now. <g>
