I have no idea who the other people posting are but THNK is a great company w/ great prospects. If they want to talk it up and sell it for a few point move, who cares. The stock is now getting institutional support and I expect the company to get substantial research coverage from the Street very soon. Disregard what everyone else says and do your own work. In the end, fundamentals will prevail. By the way, anyone who takes positions in companies because a stranger on the internet recommends doing so deserves to lose money. I think everyone needs to take more personal responsibility for their investment decisions....Terry

I am not a professional. I am a small, individual investor. My total investments in THNK are less than $30,000 (that's dollars, not shares!). I only came across David Zimmer about three weeks ago when we were both invested in LGWX. I do find that those of us who have a proven track record of picking hot stocks, and use similar criteria, tend to swap ideas about companies. Certainly there's nothing wrong with doing so, is there? I have always been very transparent when posting ideas and discussing my investment activities. If I like a stock, I say so. If I don't, I say so. (I challenge anyone to dispute this fact.) And although I may like a stock one week, circumstances beyond my control may cause me to change my position the following week. However, I never urge people to hold while I'm selling, or sell while I'm holding. Also, my holdings are too tiny to ever influence the price of a stock. (Although who knows, a few more THNKs and that may change!) Please don't see conspiracies where there are none. I am not a long term holder -- generally, I try to ride companies during periods of rapid rise. I know that bothers long term holders. But hey, you have your style and I have mine and the market doesn't give a hoot about one over the other. I typically will not be in a stock more than a month or two unless the fundamentals continue to look good. As for THNK, I expect at least another 25% out of this stock before I even start thinking about an exit. Even then, however, I may stick around. I'll have to play it as I see it at that time. Finally, I regret if you have been burned by holding on to other companies too long. Frankly, I need to continue refining my exit strategies. Someday I'll sell my small holdings in THNK. When I do, it won't be for any reason other than I think there are more promising opportunities elsewhere. And, I suspect, that's the same approach you take.
