"If you're not in the stock - and supposedly wouldn't buy it, ...why do you care..?!?" Why do I care? Because this is non-sense... Sometimes the "..stock snob.." statistics do not tell the whole story by a long shot, and you can DD yourself blue in the bloody face and still not know but a part of the whole story. John, come on. The issues with RSHN and PLNI are the most elementary. They are not rocket science. We are in the nano's, and nothing is more important than the share structure. How can you call checking the share structure doing DD until I am "blue in the bloody face"? That's incredible that you would even suggest such a thing. It would be the equivalent of telling a police officer that he is doing too much detective work when he runs the tag on a vehicle that he pulls over!?!? Checking the current share structure is the FIRST ORDER OF BUSINESS. Basically, I think it phoney to suggest that blacked out stocks are investments. What do you do for DD? Call the company? That's biased from management. Call the IR guy? That's even worse because they are biased from management, and they want to dump shares. Call and see if the product is real? That may be the worst idea of them all. Just because a product is real, does not mean it's a good investment. Mark Astrom has no doubt built a Tv Station (twice!) with our money, but he has no intentions to stop selling shares. So, my point to all this? Can we stop playing make believe for just one second? You and I both know that since RSHN and PLNI don't report, and their TA's are gagged, then they are not good investments. They might be good to secretly put a small percentage of your port value in just to see if the pump will be larger that than the dump, but that's not how you are coming across. For those that know no better, it looks like you really have the inside track on the company, and know what you are talking about. The reason I asked you the "set-up" question earlier was just to make a point....the point is that we have no way to know the current capital structure on the company, so all the crap from Bob, Jim, IR guys, or anyone else is just crap. Why don't we just say that we have walked into Nano Capp Casino, and we are playing the Nano Capp Roulette wheel, and our money is on PLNI and RSHN? At least it would be honest. GB-ND c
