TD, I understand the point you are making. My point really is dealing with weather to keep this stock as just a short term play or is it really a keeper stock??? For short term playing, I don't really care about the true worth or potential of this company and I agree with you 100%!!!! However, I have a really decent chunk of shares. If KOG has potential to be a $3-5/share or more, then it makes sense for me to hold. If this is the case, I want to know more about this company. Right now, I keep hearing about potentials and nothing as a good guide for the long term. I have already more then doubled my investment. Maybe if I hold I can really reap the rewards. However, what if there never will be a strong earnings potential??? Short term play traders (like I do periodically) don't have to completely know a company. Believe it or not, I am not scaring myself at all. I am trying to find real information on this company. I bought 20,000 shares based on a hunch that paid off. I was having no problem with the thought of losing my investment - I can handle it quite easily. I thought it was just a short term buy and then I would be off to the next company if I lucked out. Now I am having thoughts of owning long term. This is where many people draw the line and really want to know about a company. If you go to another thread, like the one for Apple... You will see people bringing up points about various things which may be (or will be) having an impact on the stock prices. Many are wrong, some are right, but everyone puts their input into why they think the company is doing (or not doing) the right thing for share holders. This is the kind of information I was hoping for here. I hope this makes sense??? Todd
