I find interesting how bad now (nearly 2 years later) your stock picks look. SCCI is a tiny company that was going nowhere, and still is. It's so thinly traded it doesn't have any real price. It tried to replace its aging CEO, failed, and has been coasting. It may be a "superconductor" play, but mostly it sells fancy dirt -- exotic minerals and compounds -- but no products (where the money is, and where bigger research $$ are needed than SCCI has to compete). as to things you called "more safe".... Bookham has crashed. NS has crashed. GSLI has mostly flatlined. LPTHA has crashed. OSIS is booming, but mostly for reasons relating to Sept. 11th (security products). GTSM, a company you boasted about once, it more clearly now just a scam. There were many signs of this, even when you recommended it: - it claimed expertise in semiconductors, agricultural mold treatment, and an electric generator -- 3 widely divergent areas, absurd for a company with no full time employees! - it NEVER had success in any of those areas. Even in semiconductors its lifetime revenues (1984 to the present, including the period up until 1990 when it had sales) total $600k, on which it lost money. - it has a history of press release that turn out not to be true -- for example a statement in 1996 that it had semiconduction production facilities (nonexistant), and another around that time that it was promised $10M to develop its electric motor (it got zero, and apparently lost the patent because it was owneed by a subsidiary that GTSM allowed to dissolve). Did you receive shares in GTSM for your recommendation of that stock? - Charles
