LOL! i know how crazy it is...i bought COMS last year in the low '20's figuring it couldn't get any worse...it bounced aimlessly at that level for months. the rest is bubble history (not that i rode it to the parabolic high...by the time the first genius upgraded it (at 80 something) i was already gone). COMS business prospects are as bad as ever from what i gather...<g>. i'm playing otc BB stocks for beer money, and i found out that the most ludicrous selection criteria will do just fine...most important is a cos ability to produce a constant stream of glowing press releases. it's gotten to the point where a stock goes up because the co hires a PR firm...it's the press release ability premium that gets built in in these cases. it's not a market anymore, it's a damned casino. i'm not complaining, but i expect the rules of the game will soon change to most 'investors' vast surprise. of course Al is still not sure if it's a bubble...<g> regards, hb
