Good post from the other thread, To: Lee G. Sommer (2511 ) From: Juli Wednesday, Jan 28 1998 10:35AM EST Reply # of 2524 Lee, I almost never post on these boards. Just paid my dues a few weeks back, but I feel I should say something for the benefit of the newcomers. If I were just discovering this stock for the first time on these boards, I would probably run for the hills. To the newcomer it does seem like a lot of hype and maybe even stock manipulation. But, because I have been in this stock for a long time and followed it, I know better. The guys on the board and Joe Murphy and Michael are just having a little fun now. Many on this board have gotten to know Joe and Michael on a very personal level. I only had a small amount in this stock until the past couple of weeks. I have now increased my position to where it is by far my largest position. I recently retired and so I am shaking like a leaf with all this money in a bulletin board stock. What made me decide was reflecting on the plan that Joe Murphy has outlined over the past couple of years and how faithfully he has followed it. If you look at the Cardcall deal, what he paid and what he sold a portion of it for, you will see what I mean. Many on this board were disappointed when most of that deal was stock, but already the shareholders have made a significant gain on that stock. I examined everything and concluded that there just wasn't much downside and huge upside to this. That is a situation that comes along very rarely. Also, many of these posters have spent incredible hours researching this stock and staying on top of it. I remember Brad from the Prodigy boards back in 90 or 91 when I first began investing on my own. I have also seen Lou Truex and Colin Cody posting for many years. These are not pump and dump guys. Only you can make the decision that is right for you. Don't blame anyone else for your decision. Jewel Spence posting as Juli because Jewel was already taken

Also from the other thread, good posts Juli... I did want to add one other thing. I did not put a large sum of money in this stock based on the postings of this thread, nor should anyone ever do that. While I do not believe that we have the pump and dump variety here, I have nonetheless been in some stocks in the past with some of the same posters who were just as enthusiastic and those stocks crashed and burned. The difference for me and the reason I concluded that the downside was limited is 1. this is a fully reporting company, 2. they are making money and do have the financial resources to follow through, 3, they have made real deals that added value to the shareholder. SmartTalk is not some BB stock where shenanigans may have been going on behind the scenes. It is a well respected company followed by Wall Stree analysts, 4. when they needed to have an auditor for their European operations they chose a well known and well respected auditing firm, 5. they likewise chose a well known and well respected wall street firm to act as market maker in the buyback. All of these things do not point to a company that is not leveling with shareholders. Look at the facts for yourself, do not rely on what other people tell you.
