Your post was pretty well-reasoned for someone who can't spell "diligence." Obviously, a person should never buy a stock just because a stranger tells him it's a good buy. I think just about everyone here on SI knows that. My post was intended to alert fans of DCLK to consider another company in the same field with perhaps a higher degree of risk, but also the possibility of much higher returns. To that end, I didn't merely "hype" the company, but included an article from a respected computer magazine in my post, which also pointed out the obstacles the company faces on its road to success. If you already knew about NETZ, then great -- but maybe other people didn't. Anyone following up on my post with a minimum of DD would have found out the same things I did -- namely, that the company's web site is unimpressive. However, that in and of itself has not turned me off entirely. I think NETZ is in the throes of its birth, and I am willing to cut it some slack until it gains its footing. I think NETZ has potential, and I am continuing to hold a small position in the hopes it will eventually break into the big leagues. So I haven't "made" or "lost" anything on NETZ -- because I haven't sold my position yet. Justin
