Agreed. I don't understand why posts keep referring to the 100MPG goal. I mean, they missed it by only 5MPG. SO WHAT. If anyone is looking at the technology to use they are only looking at how many MPG it get that will start to become profitable to them if they incorporate it into their vehicles. The 100mpg was a very good number to use because it is a psychological threshold to the public. Its like selling a product for $19.99 instead of $20.00. Its only a cent, but $20.00 is a psychological threshold for the buyer. I dont mind anyone coming in and discussing the negative points of what is happening, but if its totally negative, with the end comment of telling folks to sell, and be gone. Then I would ask why they have stayed, and not gone, if they have sold out. What would keep them here, flying around the flame. Stocks I have given up on, I move on. I don't keep going back and posting. I guess its just another way of convincing oneself that one made the right decison about selling. If one was totally convinced it was the right decision, there would be absolutely not reason to come back and post, other than having absolutely no other outside pursuits. Those that are still here are here on the "promise". They have weighted the pros and cons, and have decided that there is still enough promise to hold on to. Everyone gets out at different times. Take a look at AOL. There have been people shorting that stock since three splits ago, and they keep hollering that it is a scam, and smoke and mirrors. Its all perception. Republicans and democrats, stock buyers and short sellers. I'm glad the SEC put a short suspense date on Joe. If he does not have his ducks in a row then this will force the issue. If he does, then that will be good news to us still in. Oh, I did look at the Yahoo site last night. It seems the BAAT supporters came back in mass. It was quite a change from the last few days.

A check on clear thinking: > But it is common knowledge that BAAT has successfully exceeded this 100 mpg barrier on several of previous private test runs. < Now who provided the info upon which this "common knowledge" was based? The company? No independent corroboration here. > They would have easily exceeded 100 mpg if not for the strong head winds encountered on Feb 10. < Let's see.... The track is oval, and the car goes around the track every 2-3 minutes or so. In order to keep a consistent headwind, the wind needed to change direction ALL THE WAY AROUND THE COMPASS every 2-3 minutes. FWIW I am still long a small position, but I think it is important to separate fact from wishes or hopes here. And just because something has been repeated ten times on this thread does not necessarily make it a fact.
