The english language is such an everchanging wonderous thing. hype (heyep) [sic], n., v., hyped, hyping. Slang. v.t. 1. to stimulate, excite, or agitate (usually fol. by up). 2. to intensify (advertising, promotion, or publicity) by ingenious or questionable claims, methods, etc. (usually fol. by up). 3. an ingenious or questionable claim, method, etc., used in advertising, promotion, or publicity to intensify the effect. 4. a swindle, deception, or trick. 5. a drug addict, esp. one who uses a hypodermic needle. Summarized, when hyping (as the term is used on this board), you are leading people astray. We have not been led astray. Almost everything posted on this thread has been true, including the posts made by Franco. He probably sold for his 300K profit, and moved on. Nothing wrong with that. I wished I had his insight and his amazing ability to create excitement. If you were fortunate enough to come across his first post in late Oct. when the price was in the .20's to .30's and you were quick with your DD, you might have also been tempted to sell at $2.50 for a tidy little profit. I would be relieved if I were to not see one other post that mentions Franco or anyone else being accused of "Hyping", without some facts to back it up. It is astounding to me that the people with the most flagrant accusations are those with the least to lose. If you don't feel comfortable with your investment, please sell, clean up your spilled milk and have a good cry with my condolences. Best regards, Forest
