Hi Truthseeker,

I haven't posted on this thread before. I know y'all have a bit of a rough reputation, but with what I bring it can't taint me too much more!

I wanted to thank you for the research on BIKR. I've made a lot of mistakes in the last two years. BIKR probably isn't the worst. That honor may belong to DANKY. I digress.

Between February 23rd and March 17th, 2000, I made several purchases of BIKR and too few sales. At the depth it represented a 90%+ loss position. As of the end of day today trading it represents a 72.28% loss. Now, obviously, I have left out alot of details, such as, Why didn't you sell, stupid? I think I leave it there to forever remind me of the dangers of this endeavor. I'm not a professional trader (duh?). I work for a living. The articles that you posted, the effort that you put into your work, the depth of your analysis, all brought into focus for me what I was trying to forget - even though I was leaving the dead money position out there.

The anger and the shame all came flush into my face. Good work. I hope others learn something, anything. I remember the articles that you referenced. I have learned much since that time. I still make mistakes. When I do, I take them to the woodshed.

I tried to post in the later hours so as not to tie up the thread. Thanks for your efforts and for letting me vent.
