TSER, I sold it today. Now it will probably run tomorrow. LOL. Average in @ .11, sold it @ .09. Thank GAWD, I did. It popped back up after I sold. LOL. I see it tanked at the end of the day. Shorts? Me think not. I am cutting my losses real quick these days. I used to average down, but have been averaging down too, too much lately. Cheers RG

y2kfree_radical... my post last night that included the letter from the NAVY LT who serves aboard the USS Hawes (assisting the USS Cole) WAS NOT directed AT you... it was for the thread in general... I was just trying to establish some perspective. If I have something to direct at you personally, I will send you an email, PM you, or my favorite: I will pick up the phone and call you :) We all get wrapped around the axle with the market, our crappy stocks, the lying CEOs, IR/PR firms etc... A little of my background: Grew up in a low-middle class family... my parents both had to work long, hard hours just to make ends meet... I started working after school and on weekends when I was young. I went to a substandard grade and high school. College was an option only for those few in the county who had the money to send their kids on to college. This wasn't all bad... I did learn the value of hard work and honesty at a young age. I received a good conservative upbringing. No doubt am better off having come up that way than to have been the product of more money and less work. I have worked hard all my life. I joined the Navy... one of the few options I had at the time. My own Naval Career was filled with hardships from financial to family difficulties. My life was threatened seriously on a number of occasions. During that time, I had periods when I did not have a pot to piss in or a window to throw it out of. Fortunately, my hard work paid off finally at long last a couple of years ago. I scrapped together a small amount of money a few years ago (less than $1000) and managed to hold onto it. I learned how to trade low priced stocks and how to avoid some of the many pitfalls and obstructions involved in this game. I was fortunate enough to meet some good, honest people a couple of years ago who helped me out. I owe a great debt of gratitude to Lance Berger. He taught me a lot about OTCBB/Pink Sheet stocks. Lance and I work together on many things and our styles and expertise compliment each other. I have made a great deal of money in the last two years... enough to significantly change my lifestyle. I live better than anyone in my family ever has or ever dreamed to. I have been fortunate... but, I have worked very hard to get where I am. I am a living example of what hard work and persistence can accomplish... Going from being nobody with nothing to somebody with a little something. Finally and most importantly, I will never forget where I came from. I am just trying to encourage others to stop every once in a while and think about how good they have it and to keep things in perspective. There are still some things that are more important in life than stocks and money. OK, enough for now :) Tom
