Guys, if you think these people are working hard to build the company, what do you care if they are not rolling out press releases every other day. If you really believe in their future, this is a tremendous opportunity to get in before everyone discovers them. I have been in LUNN for several years and, while I would also like to see the price higher, as long as they are moving the company forward and the future looks bright, I am happy to buy at these bargain basement prices. If the earnings report does not show progress, that is the time to dump. The problem here is that a lot of people jumped in expecting a quick 50 - 100% profit and then were furious that the company did not accommodate them with lots of press releases. I personally think the company has better things to do than accommodate the flippers. Just one opinion.

Just sent another E-mail to Harvey. I'm not proud of it, and I probably, no, definitely, should have been less sarcastic, but this company has just pushed me past my personal limit. Since calm and reasonable appeals don't seem to put the slightest ding in ATPX's armor, maybe we need to be less calm and less reasonable. I don't know. But I think I feel a little better. --------------------------------------------------------- Mr. Goralnik: I sent you an E-mail near the end of January, asking that we see some PR fireworks soon to try and turn the stock around. I mentioned that at the very least you could put out an announcement that your firm had been hired. Well, I'll have to say that you did the very least. We got that announcement all right. Yup, real nice. Every once in a while now, after taking a look at the new low for ATPX on Yahoo, I scroll down the news list to take a look at it. It's getting kind of low on the screen now, as lots of news from my other stocks pile up, and it'll probably disappear soon, but it was nice while it lasted. Any idea when we might see another lonely little tidbit? Before the stock hits single digits maybe? By the way, is Focus Partners working for these guys full-time, or is this maybe seasonal work? Are you getting the idea yet that some of us investors are getting a little frustrated? Have you read the SI thread lately? In my first E-mail I asked you to "DO SOMETHING. And tomorrow wouldn't be too soon". I can see I might have to adjust that. How about: "DO SOMETHING. And 1998 wouldn't be too soon". This is a pretty sad situation. For us investors especially, but even for you. Maybe it'd better for you in the long run if the next news item we see is something like "Focus Partners pulls out of deal with ATPX. 'Bad for our image', says Harvey Goralnik." Think about it.
