Tom I am only an investor here so for me it is difficult to act as some kind of Guru. Overall, feeling confused is normal when you have limited funds like all of us. My feeling about CMND is that it is a new stock and it will go through its trials and tribulations and hopefully their next quarter would be a good one. Sometimes IPO's work out and often they dont. PTUS, I remember opened with a $10 premium at 29 but now it is 14 or 15. SYNT IPO'd at 12 and shot to 18 then to 8 and now it is 31. You can see same charts for IMRS,CBSL and MAST. The latter are more comparable to CMND. Whether it will respond the same way ....makes investing fun. SPNSF is not in the same league as TAVA. TAVA potential....as they say sky is the limit but when?...is a good question. SPNSF is a good stock for trading for a point or two as in the past it has not sustained its upward momentum. I hope it does this time. Internet brokerage is cheap and for few bucks we can always buy and sell a stock. In any case patience is also needed.

Tom - I have only been interested in stocks since last fall and am overwhelmed most of the time by my lack of knowledge. Any suggestion on how to survive to become a seasoned veteran like yourself. PMFJI (pardon me for jumping in...) If you're a rookie, please be warned that particularly with Y2K stocks you're playing with dynamite with a lit fuse. They can & will go up & down like rockets. If you're playing with gambling money (ie - you can afford to lose it all), fine... if this is money you need to put food in you childrens mouths, for heavens sake go to Las Vegas for a sure thing. Most Y2K stocks are very dangerous. - David
