ok & yes, but... i'm sure that i have heard that trading as you have described works very well, and at times it has occured even when the company was in name only with just a shell existing and a flow'ing of shares between investor's almost as if everyone knew this company was worthless and it was a gambling game like musical chairs as when the music stopped as in bankruptcy, whoever was left standing without a chair were those left holding worthless shares. I'm not into that, of all the shares i have done a buy into of about 15 companies i have only did one sell of one of all the shares. Still hold all in other 14, waiting for the shares to increase in price based on the company becoming successful. Guess i do not play that game with real money, trying to out play or guess others and hope i'm not left standimg with no chair. I buy into companies, like this one, in the hope that it is not a scam first of all, and then hope it does indeed have whats put onto its web site, and then hope management is good and able, and lastly hope luck & timing happen. My notes say that i did a buy March 2000 at $0.42 Canadian. Did that based on happy talk on this thread at that time. Foolish me, live & learn'ed that lesson i did. Now i know the correct route for those like me that have not the experience and insight into these types of companies is to subscribe to those places that do the research and makes lists based on their opinions. They may be wrong 1/2 the times, but so far by myself i have been wrong completely as i have not yet picked any winners, just one break even of a dozen. doug
