<<The guys on the SI CUBE board posted everything written or even speculated about CUBE but they have consistently been so deep in the forest that they couldn't see what was actually happening in the real world. I doubt many of them have made money in CUBE unless they traded it frequently.>> Yes, what good is all that hard work if you don't do something with it - other than just buy and hold? <<There is such a thing as having too much "information.>> There is also such a thing as too little acting on that information. I'll go back to that sacred "buy and hold" again. Even Greg, tried to get me off that! <g> How can an average investor buy and hold MRVC? The volatility either will give you a heart attack, or cause them to make exactly the WRONG move - like selling in a panic when mrvc hit $41 pre-split on that horrible Nasdaq day. How could they possibly know that that was "THE DAY" to buy MRVC? I did buy some on that day.

Please, tell it to the street. MRV still has only ONE ANALYST covering. and please go on and on. Then I'll have what I'd like to see. The folks (Now a days) buying the rings and jewelery want to buy the stock from where these gems are mined not just the experts. And some wouldn't know a precious gem from a piece of a Coke bottle.

largely agree with that post, bob (as if it matters<g>). however, i do disagree with "There is such a thing as having too much "information." imo, there's never too much info. it's being able to decide what is pertinent and what is just "noise" that enables one to make an educated investment decision.... for example, i didn't see anyone recognize i had posted the roadshow date.... that should certainly play in one's short-term decision making process. wouldn't want to be out the days prior and during the roadshow... (merely 11 days away...)
