Ron- Good to see your confidence. Hey does that stand for solid gold like my watch? Solid...like a rock. Though my investment in athm has been like crumbling sandstone in the face of a high pressure water canon. Reminds me of a song from the late 60's... Well, I sit and I wait. The days they blend together now. I get up and I go down to the park and sit on the same bench. I feed the pigeons, I see the children run by and they have even gotten to know my name. We laugh, we tell a few jokes, but it still doesn't ease my pain. Oh I see athm's price everywhere I go to the park and even to the picture show have ya seen it? Tell me, have ya seen it? Why oh why did it have to leave and go so low? Oh my. I've been use to having it be much higher, but its lower, so much lower... I have averaged down, but still need a double from 20 to break even...ouch. I remain optimistic that the prospects are bright somewhere, out there on the time line. Should this runt of the litter ever make it I must remind myself to not invest in the market again. Should this runt ever make it maybe I won't have too... What makes me smile is that ATHM has lost more in percentage then is actually possible. 100 to 50 is 50%. 50 to 25 is 50%. 25 to 16 today is about 40%. So we are down about 140% from our highs. Not too many companies with the potential this one has can claim that. Heck, we still have room for more percentage loss. If we keep splitting in half every few weeks eventually we may get to the size of one atom and then we can celebrate with a self-generated thermonuclear explosion as we split the last atom of ATHM. Maybe that's what going out with a bang really means. <g> I remain, Solid [though now with a slightly more warped sense of humor]
