Hi jaytee, Not everyone...I'm still in. Though somewhat annoyed at what seems to be management's lack of shareholder sensitivity, I'm staying in through March. My thorough attempts at finding major red flags in the financials has come up fairly benign, and I have no indication that ATPX's niche and market share has done anything but increase since the merger. I hadn't planned on this one being a medium term hold, but I got my tax-loss selling out of the way with MSON and don't mind waiting till full earnings are reported. It is frustrating when certain divisions of the company land large, healthy contracts and refrain from releasing the news because they consider them 'just another work order.' Well those 'work orders' are what draws attention to the stock... Good luck, sandy

Jaytee, I know how you feel. A lot of people are learning some hard lessons right now. I'm not quite sure what I'm learning?? I think that most of these small/micro cap stocks we've bought should have been sold when they went up 10-15%. I know I felt like I was on the front edge of the small/micro cap stuff going up (like all the pundits told us), but it appears that when people get out of the big stocks, they ride them down by shorting and buy them back at the bottom. No body seems to be interested in small/micro caps. Everyone is right in saying that these news blackouts are killing us. I know that I've learned my lesson on buying foreign stocks that have no accountability to shareholders, to speak of (boscf). Maybe these guys at ATPX think their foreign? Good luck, JR
