The LONG and the SHORT of it (since posts critical of part of the show may be misconstrued as being critical of the whole performance) is that, FONAR is a GREAT Company Although it is not profitable as of now, it is at a significant point in its history and operation; There is a tide in the affairs of companies which taken at its flood can lead to significant fortunes, and FONAR at this point may be there; I personally think that Fonar has the potential to make big money for its current investors; and also that, BB forums sometimes exist not for the purpose of examining and assessing the reliability of information or speculation out there, but also for cheerleading and as support group. If your hopes are pinned on short term big gains in the price of Fonar, the likelihood of disappointment is quite real. If your hopes are pinned on the reliability of the company's projections of sales, you have nothing to go by. If your hopes are pinned on the certainty of meaningful news release on dates mentioned here, wisdom warns. I guess that is about all I want to say. There is no sarcasm in anything I have stated above. They are being said quite sincerely. I hope y'all hang in there.

S.T.: While I don't agree with you that the info shouldn't have been posted, I support your right to your opinion on the matter, and sympathize with you for having been attacked for stating your opinion. I don't think people should be told to leave the forum simply for stating an opinion on a matter about Fonar with which I don't agree. It's unfortunate that there are so many childish people here who are quick to invite others to leave, as though it were they who owned the store. People do make investment decisions on the basis of what they read in the threads here. But, it should be clear that Fonar's reliability is poor in regard to dates for press releases, and it's unlikely that there was anything in the post that could mislead anyone. It was a report of a conversation with IR, and that is one of the things these threads are for, IMO. Linda
