Kim, I think that CHIP is now moving as a proxy to Naxos which is expecting "great news" any day. Your comments about cheerleading and PR representation are interesting. My experience on SI and AOL message boards has the company PR people to be in the worst interest of shareholders. They are paid whores that will say anything to sell the company line. We amateur cheerleaders are usually long the stocks we own and believe in what the company is doing. It's very hard to be long and also remain objective when posting. We have discussed the agenda issue that all posters have before, but I want to suggest that the "truth" of any situation is always dependent on current knowledge and financial interest. Trading these stocks removes the "love/hate" and places the value on simply the opportunity to earn money from an investment. Traders help reduce a stock's price swings and has traders stepping up to the plate when things look the worst. Long term investors should love them. I also sense an envy from the "holders", like we shouldn't make money in the market. That's very narrow sighted. Shorts are also valuable. Trading as you know is hard work and requires constant attention, hard work should be rewarded.
