Sam- I must admit this thred kept me from bailing at 16.5, my original target price. All I can say is that I left my instincts on the sidelines and it's my own fault. Of course eveyone has an agenda, but this thread also is a very good place to get info. True, people try to sway the stock here, but it gives you a feel for the street. Now, I have about 10,000 reasons to be more carful. SIR

You got only 2 cents out of the $75 you paid!! You could have owned 10 shares of S3 and would have been better off! Sure, everybody has his own agenda, there are the longs, the shorts, the long-term players, the spot traders and so on. What makes this thread valuable is the information on S3's products, their position (or lack thereof) in the market place and the outlook on the future. Other than that you have to be extremely careful in circumnavigating the pitfalls and traps set by others to serve their agenda. You all do this at your own risk and your decisions are yours only, just like my decisions are mine only. We all learn in the process, some just pay a little heftier price for it. JMHO Jan

Sambo, I don't think S3 problems are the fault of any on this thread, nor do I think it is our respondiblity here on this thread to accept the blame of S3 mismanagement. Nor do I think we should blame each other for S3 management problems. Having said that let me comment. < 2. Even more absurd is Frank/Stocktalk, who started this thread, and who claims to be a "bigtime trader"> I have never claimed to be "anything", I do derive most of my income from investments and I do trade, and have no other source of employment or income. < and a possible BOARD OF DIRECTORS candidate for SIII,> There is no way either you or anyone else could have taken that seriously, do we really neen to put a <gggg> everytime we joke around?? < actually "turned over the leadership of the thread" to LEO of all people a while back,> Again, if you have been reading this thread and couldn't figure out there was no love loss between Leo & I and I was poking fun at him, it time for you to unbutton your starch collar, you taking life alittle to seriously. < WHAT A JOKE!!!!> Exactly, now your catching on. < 6. I paid $75 to get in my two cents. At least I'm consistent! Yet somehow it was well worth it, because at least it is off my chest. And I can at least giggle when I hear people actually think that Frank will be on the board of SIII - perhaps that's where he truly belongs, a loser overlooking a bunch of losers - but then again, he started this thread, didn't he!> I did start this thread and feel I should bear some criticism along the way, which I accept. However I still believe this thread to be an excellent NON FILTERED source of information which gives the readers a pluse of what going on the street. But as is true in all of life, news, newspapers, etc, it is the readers respondiblity to sift through the info and decide for themself what to believe and what to discount. The job of the thread is not to parent the reader, but rather expose the reader to ALL information available and let the reader decide for themselves.

Sam, every investor/trader gets hit by others. The investing/trading highway is littered with wrecks. Other investors/traders want you to fail because they get the money you lose! This market is not any investor/trader's mother. It consists of tough men and women who look for ways to take money away from any investor/trader instead of pouring milk into their mouths!! My point is be careful! And, make your decisions based on your own homework. Lastly, take responsibilty of your own decisions; blaming will not help (three fingers rule apply here). MBrad
