Joe "PS Here is a riddle for you. If one person believes that another group of people are A-Holes, yet he is the only one with that opinion, what does that make that person?" Answer: Someone that is on ignore. Since SI would not cenor him when Sergio requested it as the moderator of the thread I simply have taken the option of ignore. I'm not particularly interested in engaging the discussion any further. Where ever the stock goes it goes without our comment either way. ON anther note, BDOG looks like it may have pulled back enough for the investment minded. Testing the 50dMA and moving back up this past week was a good thing. AAC is becoming a nice little trader, but may be ready for a more dramatic move having traded nearly 1/2 of the total outstanding shares over .90 STXN also looks ready for a trade, of course CARY is way faster than I on that one.

Joe, I think what's got CRAZY Mike excited is that MDCO is finally at a higher price than where we decided to sell it at, according to your post....more than six months ago. Message 19371514 He never did respond to your suggestion to find something else to diversify his folio <ggg>. Well...MDCO is now almost 10% higher now and CRAZY Mike is back! Revenge is his! OK, that's all from me on this mental case.
