Wonder what the "resources" have to say now? Your daddy. Remember this one? > houleps, the problem for Louie, Fat_Lady and their types is the typical basher/shorter deal is to find a company that is poised for some kind of run on increasing good news, set up shop on the board, engage regulars to get their name out there--then wait for a good run--then jump in on a short position as buying slows on the run--then go from neutral to moderate bashing--to out and out killer bashing to drive the price back down. This often works well since most penny stock news/runs are usually relegated to the 'hype pile.' However these guys are usually involved in a lot of plays and usually don't really know the company well. They rely on filings which always look bad--of course--otherwise it wouldn't be a penny stock! They also rely on the fact that most penny stock companies, in the end, fail to deliver. Where they really get screwed is when they stumble upon a company like trkr that has survived the above, has real skilled technical people and real technology, has laid the ground work for getting the technology to market, has evolved beyond being a typical penny stock company--but still APPEARS to be a typical penny stock company to shorter/bashers that simply are drawn (like moths to a light bulb) to the increased volume and excitement generated by the earliest phase of reported success. They see the modest deal with WTEC and the small Ontario deal and think "hey!--this thing will run soon cause it'll get hyped now that the company has had a (what they believe to be) a little success"--not realizing (for those of us that have been dd-ing the company for at least 2 yrs) that this isn't just the 'appearance' of the beginning--it truly is the beginning of the company's move from development stage to production/revenue generation stage. Also, perhaps unfortunately for both them and us, in this market--stock price appreciation will probably only occur in union with concrete additional contracts--some of which this yr I'm guessing will be quite large. Thus when we do see the stock really run--it won't be based on hype--it'll be based on the real deal--and that doesn't work for shorters--they quickly cover and swim to safer waters. The one piece of advice I have to give as a seasoned pennystock investor, and which message threaders always fail to follow, is 'do not respond to the new bashers as they appear'--it is exactly what they want you to do. Make your own posts to each other leave it at that. We've had many disbelievers on this board--that's OK--they have had reason to disbelieve--but for the most part they have been expressing honest views and doubts. That is not the case with new posters on a potential run stock that make brain dead negative posts obviously geared to potential new investors, not ones they know already are quite familiar with the company. The irony is that whether or not the bashers come or you respond to them won't matter. Based on probably the most exhaustive long term dd that I've ever performed on a company and industry, I believe this company is the rare gem--a penny stock company that is a real company with long term large company potential--a company that now IMO has all but eliminated the financial risk that had it stalled, a company that is on the verge of cashing in on the huge R&D effort of the past 12-18 months, a company that, but for initial management mistakes including misjudging associates and just plain bad luck timing, would never have ever been a penny stock in the first place. IMHO the contracts coming over this next yr will make any message thread posting irrelevant. Best Wishes patwrkragingbull.lycos.com
