Spytrdr, I just read SI's mail about the new features. One is a moderated thread where trouble makers can be excluded from posting. (if I read it right) Is it time for the EGRP thread rational posters to move this subject to a moderated thread section? It could be set up to allow all discussion, pro or con, but allow us to block those who only seek to harass. Anybody interested?

Note even close. Based on the Price to EARNINGS, EGRP is way overvalued. Most traditional brokers have P/Es of 15, even if EGRP made 40 cents a share next year (beating estimates of 28 cents), they are worth only $6. Web brokers like SCH have a P/E of 50 at best. At that P/E, EGRP is worth $20 if it earning 40 cents a share, making it adequately valued. Can't just compare P/S ratios in this market. People want to see profits, not hype.
