It may very well have been true that at 20+ the stock was actually overvalued. It may now be undervalued. But it's very rare for management of any company to take responsibility for such market inaccuracies. As for the leaked info, and RATL management holding back news, there has been no official statement that there is news, so how is it that several people on message boards makes the rumor true? In summary, RATL will help everyone value the stock fairly, but can only let the market come to it's own conclusion; you are free to sell at any time. RATL is a difficult company in which to invest. Their wide range of products are not simple to understand (for most), nor are they easy to size up relative to competition. I think most of the people posting on this thread realize the volatility and unpredictability of the short term, and expect that over the long term RATL's business will grow at a healthy rate -- the stock price along with it. We may be wrong, too; the historical chart is certainly choppy. Randy
