Web Myst, What many of us who are invested in FNTN are attempting to do is to invest in a start-up company before it becomes 'successful'. I hope that this is your intent. If it is , more than likely you'll be a very happy investor in 6 months , a year , and two years from now. Buying FNTN at .40 will (IMO) be held as a very sharp move on your part when viewed in retrospect some time from now. While Malcolm is fortunate enough to have developed an ability to know good entry and exit points , even he knows an issue like FNTN can be a huge winner by buying it at these levels and riding it up .... way up. And while there is no assurance that it will 'shoot the moon' it should at the very least be a solid winner. Very few of the larger long term FNTN investors that frequent this board have an average price much better than your position. Stay with FNTN. Give it time to mature its new business plan and I think you'll be pleased , John

OT: Web Myst, I chose pennys over options when I got some unsolicated advice from a successful english stockbroker who said 'stick with one thing and become an expert on it'. I decide my one thing would be to buy developing companys, pennys, for the long term. I made alot of mistakes at first (still am), falling for hype, buying some losers, not doing enough DD, ect ect. Finally i started making some good buys...in EDIS at .12..Good ride on USVO and IVOC...in EXTI at .16, .20 and .30 And, to reinforce your point that pennys rarely go to zero (although I've seen a lot that have, or should be!) I've even had some old stocks that I held (I rarely sell for a loss, it's reap or weep with pennys) come back recently...MVEE, NSKY, SCMS. These days I'm glad to say that most of my mistakes are not buying into a stock that I've been watching soon enough, or selling out too soon, but still for a great profit. Hey, you could make money daytrading, watching and riding the waves, but when i finally get this down enough to make it my job I don't want to have to sit in front of my computer all day. Find the company's with a future and invest for the long term, that's what I do. (but I'll probably still be out before the CEO is on CNBC) cheers!
