The point is, that there is insider selling in every technology company and there has been for years, so whats changed? Actually the insider selling in AVNX is not as bad as I would expect considering the current market conditions. The stock price is holding up fairly well, volume is dwindling. Nothing is free in this world, if you want to make 100% in a short amount of time you've GOT to take chances, if you are happy with 12% buy a fund. AVNX is a very risky stock, but the pay-off potential is huge. To each his own, it's worth the risk to me. FYI, there were 8,344,045 shares bought by institutions last quarter, compared to 1,663,083 sold. Top buyers included: CSFB, Putnam, and American Express Financial Services, all in their CORE GROWTH funds. Take it for what it's worth!

Hi Victor, B, you need to face the truth: the public float is growing steadily, and it will take lots more blind bulls like you to soak it up, just to keep the price steady, never mind raise it. Maybe we should see if we can get B. to fully disclose his interests here. Not likely, but in view of current market conditions and the distinct possibility of a huge cratering in FO components as retail dupes catch on to the real potential of this market, it would be interesting to hear why Bong is pounding the table like a pimp on an Oakland sidestreet. Maybe it's irrational exuberance, or youth or inexperience or an agenda. I can't tell. All I can tell is that his hysterical attack of your sensible process is vulgar and suspect. Illegitimus non carborundum. -Ray
