Barb- I really don't get it . When Solv was tanking hard and had nothing on the horizen, and you had a short position, your "see you at .o2" comments made sense to me. I would have thought the same if I had the same position. Admitted, a short position was the profitable position in this stock for about a year. However, the situation here has changed, and Koch will have the reins of S.-ex's fate in the not too distant future. Hopefully S.ex will be debt free and will have a partner who knows what they are doing. I think we may agree on one thing, Koch is big. For sure this play had not turned out the way I hoped and thought. Understatement! Have you ever had an investment not pan out the way you thought? If not, maybe one day you will have the privelege of it happening. One learns alot, and it is not fun. You then run the risk of people who are not invested coming to your thread and hashing over and over that your investment (basically) rots. Of course, these statements are made even in the face of things changing for the company. It becomes like a revenge game or something. I do not know about you, but I am not one to monitor certain individuals whom I have disagreed with , and basically watch what they are saying on SI, so I can follow when their investments fail, so then I can post on that thread that their stocks stink. Imagine what this medium would be like if more did that? Imagine what it would be like for you. Maybe you already know. Barb, you know very well that there are alot of "shell companies" that are trading for more than .02. ( Some think Solv-ex was/is one of them.) What shell companies have Koch as a partner? So all in all, maybe my shares will be worth .02 after all the refinancing and what not. If so, I will be the one who will admit that you told me so. Your intermittant repetition of your .02 statements are old hat now and cross the line to that revenge game. They do not even support your short position last I read. The reality here is many have sold or holding at a loss and have been beaten up for a year. We don't need to be informed that things have rotted . It is obvious. It is also obvious that things are changing for this company. It will take time. To overlook the fact that positive things are presently taking place, is just as bad to deny that we were in for doom six months ago. Let me be delusional if you may. Ps. The questions in this post are rhetorical. Rob
