Joe, glad to hear you got out when you did. As you said, the facts don't support the hype. It seems likely there is a short position that attracted many to OVIS/RMIL, but the rest of the story just can't be supported. Company press releases are damning and play right into the hands of the SEC, an easy case to prove. Sorry folks, filing financials will not solve the problem. But never fear, you will likely get the opportunity to sell for pennies on the dollar in 1998 to record your tax loss. John

Ultimately, everyone must do what's right for them. I do not own as much RMIL as I once had, I had to sell some to pay the taxman before he seized my wages due to a screw up on my employers part when I moved to California. That was a right and proper decision for me at the time. Anyone that does anything different that what they feel is right for them, riskwise, researchwise, or otherwise, is a fool, in my opinion. We all know what happens to a fool and his money. It was nice in the beginning to have the solidarity of the group here and things seemed to be going great. Over time, some of us gave up, others had to sell to take care of other matters in our lives, and some bought or sold based on their own research or the word of someone else's. That's life and that's the market. Nothing can take away this experience, and lord knows, this has been an experience, and the friends I have made here. I don't bash those that bailed or had to bail and really don't bash the nays, I am just annoyed by them as I am a shareholder and they are not. This is truely all Karma now, money in the bank or not, financials or not. We'll all see in due time, and when it reopens, everyone will do what they feel they must. Personally, I may have sold some to help give my family a better holiday, but since that is not possible, I will probably ride it out depending on the company's response to the halt. HH

joe, i'm glad you didn't have to suffer through the kind of loss i did. that was always my point - even if i laid it on thick sometimes. you deserve all the credit as you made the decision. i made poor decisions in the past and i won't allow these types of deals to go unnoticed when brought to my attention. my naivette duped me. you lost your naivette just in time. kudos. the tuition i paid is now slightly less than it was a little while ago b/c someone else benefitted. now, don't mess with penny stocks. too many good companies are out there with the potential for 50% gains. good luck.
