Good point. Where is Terry Over? Where have all the flowers gone? Other Chap will rest on his own merits. For me, I'm still in. If left holding the bag, I'll make it up with oil drillers. Recommend you get in one to cover NETZ losses. Drillers are coming out of their bottom, since they stopped dovetailing the price of oil.

sorry to hear that. OC was just bashing bb's in general. He was right but I wonder if he withheld some things. I say this because:

on 3-2-98 I got up very early and did some more DD on NETZ( as if I had not done enuf) ...
found the wired.com archives and saw 3 headlines on NETZ
tried to get them but they had not released them .. still on editors desk i guess anyways
@ ~ 4:52 am I psoted on SI that news...negative news ... was on wired.com on NETZ felt it was my duty well with 4 1/2+ hours b4 bell the sh*t hit the fan > AOL...YAHOO...SI etc

after that OtherChap says his opinion of me skyrocketed and when I asked him what he would do he said: "I would have waited till after the bell",

so, he may have had a hidden agenda.

waiting for REAL financials:

Joe PTG&LI btw the way I bought today:

CHAT
CSCA
DFNL more
GLOW
LOCH
MCIK
MIDLW

hoping for the best.


well that post may have generated my 20K potnetial gain

I was accused of causing the panic when I actually was doing the RIGHT thing cause I believed in it NETZ.

Catching up here...

This is also the first time that I've seen such a blatant and outrageously audacious half-truth propagated by Yahoo. Who's responsible for posting at Yahoo?

I think you can relax about Yahoo at least. They only catalogue the news wire stuff. About as liable for the content as, say, Businesswire or PR Newswire. Making a smartly worded release will make you pop up in many places. I think Zulu knew this and simply exploited Yahoo's automatic indexing feature.

The other red light was Matty G's post after meeting with Tom. Matty said something to effect that "Tom, who was just as excited as we are, hasn't met all the VC's in the company". Tom - ever hear of an airplane ? What guy is going to let another guy who he's never met invest (and control) his company, particularly during last week ?

Yup. That line also made me go 'naw'. I should have stopped to think, right then and there.

They've ruined it for themselves, for me, other's, and other legitimate companies that really need BB's, the SEC, the stock market to raise capital, distributors, and exposure.

Ahem. Stings like this (as I assume Zulu is) and of this caliber is not a new thing... It's just that a few more people learned about it first hand... IMO.

The hypster/PR game has max six more months then they're finished. I also think the SEC and others will move in and do something because if they don't the vipers will be left with no more prey unless they're counting on college kiddies with disposable incomes of $2000/annum if that.

I disagree. Part of the reason I play BBs is that it is a volatile place. No risk, no reward. I am doing this well aware that I may step on a land mine any time. And I think six months is to soon. Maybe if some senators young (picturesque) relative happens to loose his/her savings on the BB...

P.S. Any word from Terry Over and his surfing buddies ? Don't think so. Someone's on a beach in Hawaii watching babes in their G-strings.

Maybe more people than you are crying into their beer right now. I didn't see Terry here until late so he might just have lost any amount of money. I sure don't hope so anyway...

Other Chap got hammered, no one on this thread apologized to him, what he said was right, and he may indeed be a spammer, but he also told everyone to get the hell out of this weasel factory.

Nobody respects or listens to someone who cries wolf at any drop of a hat. He didn't conduct himself in a credible manner and my opinion of him still stands, him being right or no.

At least we got the ride...
