I agree. I did the same. It's just sound investment strategy. I was once told never to fall in love with your investments.

Richard and all, I did the same thing - in low, out high. I've voiced my doubts/cautions here in the recent past, but I'd consider getting back in if the price goes low enough - but not before I hear the impressions of people on this thread who have actually visited the company and were present at the test runs (Jan and/or Feb). I need to know if this outfit is for real. Some here have meet management face-to-face. What do you think of these guys, pro AND con, no BS. If management is on the up and up and the technology is real, the company and the stock probably has a future. If Joe LaStella is all hype, the stock is worthless. Regarding the SEC probe, IMO it's all about Feb 5. Read Richard Williams post # 790 on this thread - I believe that is exactly what happened. I've been told it was done by some secondary MM's from Jersey City. I actually got an email the night before suggesting that they were "sniffing around this one for a short". Regarding the patent issue, I've been down that road myself. I happen to agree with Joe's position 100%. The down side to patents is that prior to commercial development, it exposes your intellectual property/claims to the public (after commercialization there's the whole issue of reverse engineering to deal with). I seem to recall that someone here made the analogy that it's like publishing a cook book. I found all my competitor's patents via the internet, and for $5 bucks a pop, the US Patent Office gladly FAXed me all of them. And in order to patent over an existing patent, you need only to "improve" upon it. I can just see the Big 3 pouring through BAT's claims and tech drawings. At the end of the day, all they'd really have is the right to introduce their patents in a law suit with the giants. Any bets on who would win? Anyway, for all you BAT longs, "where's the beef". Tell me about your first-hand knowledge of management and the pulse engine. Show me your DD or point me in the right direction. I'd love to buy back in and take another ride to the top. I was lucky the first time - I made out without doing my homework. However, I'm not about to push my luck with BAT a second time. Steve
