See that little <g>? That means I was being facetious, or comments made tongue-in-cheek. It stands for <grin>. VBG stands for Very Big Grin. I didn't use that one this time. Just plain old "grin". You gotta read ALL the stuff since we all know that words don't wrinkle their eyebrows, or smirk when they are written. Only writers do that, hoping people get their drift by their clues. Yes......I was being sarcastic at the situation, not at anybody. Here's something you should recognize! :>) Smiley face! Peace.

peacelover, you suggested MRVC is "sitting close to its lows," and that "I do not think a lot of people including myself have made money on this stock." I suggest that your statement reveals your limited time horizon, and is probably inaccurate. Look at a five year chart, for example at quote.yahoo.com In January 1994, a mere 4 years ago, MRVC was selling at a split adjusted ... what? 2 dollars? Thats a substantial profit in only four years. Buyers then have made lots of money. In January 1996, MRVC cleared a split-adjusted $10 on the way up. Buyers a mere 26 months ago at that price have seen their investment double. Do you not count those investors? Or do you regard a 10 bagger in 4 years and a double in two years as insignificant? Doug (long MRVC)
