Mark, I follow OMKT. It is my official 'newbie nightmare'. I suspect the recent weakness is partially due to their European exposure through their publishing arm. Two years ago, I thought this one had lots of potential until I finally bailed at 6$. Don't know if they'll ever make money. I feel like that Micheal Palin character in "A Fish Named Wanda" about it. "R-R-R-REVENGE!!!". Now it's back under 6 bucks, couldn't bring myself to pull the trigger today. Maybe a mistake. Good luck with the nuptuals. May you bring each other lots of happiness. CD
