it ain't over 'til the fat lady sings. And sometimes not even then. Threads can take on a life of their own absent the company.

In the Bre-X opera, the lady sang, left the theatre, and went home, yet #Subject-5725 lives on. LOL

Josef,

I don't think it was around long enough to generate the type of following that Bre-x still has. People didn't have time to get attached to the stock. When people lose money, they will stay around to complain. I see you did great with your Bre-x, but other people were holding those shares when it went down the tubes. I don't think enough people had time to buy IHIN. You are right that the fat lady has not sung, but I think the opera may be in it's last act and she is warming up.

I understand that threads take on a life of their own after the stock disappears. Look at the RMIL mess. It has been halted for a few months and it still has a rabid following. It is even spawned a new thread yesterday.

and don't forget all the messages from its previous incarnation as OVIS

I remember that you covered this a while back, but is this the most talked about company on SI?
