Limtex, this thread did a great job of analyzing and predicting LEXR's current situation. I see no reason why those who took the time to do the work should not reap some pleasure from their efforts. Many thanks to all who took the time to do the research and express your thoughts here!

I am not the least bit sorry for anyone who bought LEXR shares. LEXR's IPO paperwork made it perfectly clear that the odds were very much against them. IMHO, anyone having a clear mind and either a LEXR prospectus in hand or a link to this thread wouldn't have invested a single cent.

I also haven't the tiniest bit of compassion for the option recipients at LEXR who had hopes of becoming billionaires. I hope that the IRS arrives on their doorsteps at 5 am with deficiency notices and then takes their leased vehicles off to an impound lot in Kansas.

IMHO, the people who really deserve our sympathies are not the management or shareholders but rather the secretaries, clerks, and all the rest of the people at LEXR who did their jobs well and expected nothing more than a weekly paycheck. It has to be mighty tough to be going into Christmas with a $10/hour job at LEXR that might not be there in January. :-(

Unfortunately, people who make $10/hour or less probably haven't spent the $125 it costs to post here. So ... I don't expect to hear much from them in support of my beliefs.

PS No ... No ... 1,000 times ... No! I am not some kind of liberal idiot hoping to make life better for the walking poor (not that that wouldn't be a reasonable thing to do if we ever have sufficient resources). I come from the practical branch of the Ayn Rand group that thinks that those who hope to consume without contributing are a life form below bedbugs, eathworms and ... rocks.
