This is a depressing thread. There are two underlying themes. One theme is the DIS POWs and the other theme is what is wrong with APTX's management . DIS POWs: We have had some huge successes and some duds. BOSCF and ATPX are probably the worst performers and everyone on this thread seems to be in these, and not in RADAF and RECY and CADE or any of our other very succesful picks.. BOSCF's quaterly report did not give a very optimistic flavor for the future. Perhaps the CEO was being cautious, but the numbers were below expectations. NOIZ had good numbers and the stock should be coming on as strong as ever soon enough. How about APCO? HURC has done very well also. This stock, ATPX has me baffled. ATPX: Why aren't more people calling and asking management questions? I am expecting several things from the company in the next few weeks. They should be about ready to get in gear and let the world know that this stock exists. At the current price, ATPX may be the steal of the century, but what good is it if no one knows about it? I also want to warn everyone that it is not all good news. The Equus people are going to be sellers. Is the company waiting for Equus to begin liquidating? I still believe that there is value here in the mid $20s. Let's get this thread back to the topic of ATPX and any discussion about the POWs can be done on the several threads that deal with the POWs. Anybody have any info on ATPX? Sergio

Sandra: I couldn't agree more. Your story sounds familiar. I have a few of the same assorted "horror stories" of the under $5 kind.. It seems that these "pennies" can get manipulated very easily, . . . especially the OTC variety. I had read in a post where, in the "old days" position trading these was something like 6 weeks. Now it's 6 days. People look for 15% and dump. Sometimes 10% is good enough. The late comers, or the people (like us) who "buy into the story" (believe in company. . . shame . . . shame . . . ) get killed as the stock drops, and stays "sideways" forever. It would take significant news to propel our "dogs". And that just isn't going to happen. Best, Jaytee
