Just a comment about FAMH's investor packet. I'm not saying they broke any rules in preparing it, just stating some things I found that may be less than professional, and if FAMH reads this thread maybe they can change them. First of all, many posts from this thread were included in the packet, mainly the posts projecting $10 to $20 within a couple of years and other as of yet unsubstantiated claims. These may be reasonable in a bulletin board context, but in my opinion is not appropriate for a professional investment packet. I'll forgive them for this, but they actually left the names of the posters on the printouts! Rookiedave, Cheryl OD, and several other full names are mentioned on these reproduced posts. In my opinion to respect privacy the names should have been removed, actually I don't think ANY of the posts from this thread or any thread should have been included. It did not look professional. Secondly, on the top of the Dunn and Bradstreet PHOTOCOPIED report is a statement that the report may not be reproduced! Third, also in bad taste, was the inclusion of paid stock promos appearing in Barron's which were made to look like legitimate Barron's articles and features about the company. It almost made it look like the company was trying to mislead investors in thinking FAMH had actually beed written about in Barron's. I think FAMH has a wonderful future ahead of it, I'd hate to see it degrade itself with such an unprofessional and amaturish investor packet. Sorry if this sounded too harsh, but I think the investor packet was put together by an underpaid high school dropout. Dave
