Ron: I don't think any of us really think that our posts can move the markets. We're just looking for a good debate on the merits and demerits of the various stocks.

Wow...you sound like an expert!!!! How did you ever figure out that I expect my "diatribe" to affect the price of the stock? I never said TPRO was a scam. I simply said that I was fairly certain that the Intel rumors were false. There is nothing (yet) that has led me to believe that TPRO is an outright fraud. It's a schlocky, small company...but from all appearances seems quite legitimate. If I had evidence of fraud, rest assured I would be betting the farm. By the way (and I think most of the people on this thread would back me up on this), if I had a dollar for every time some Bozo<wink> chirps in with the threat of a "short squeeze" or "better cover your shorts" or "the shorts are about to get massacred" or "stop the shorts - call in your certs" or "short sellers are manipulating the stock" etc. etc. etc. whenever I make a negative comment about a stock, I could retire to my own island.

Ron, re TPRO, why would you think any short should commit to holding any position for a fixed period of time? That you would do so on the long side seems rather foolish (no, not "F"). I'm sure Bill will hold his position until the stock hits his objective OR something convinces him that he is wrong. I don't see you writing anything to explain how he might be wrong in his reasoning or explaining to the rest of us the merits you apparently see in this stock. Do you have a reasoned opinion? Let's hear it! Bob
