I'm not sure I've ever mentioned this but I did not invest in AVBC because of you or the group. I was in the process of my own DD when I found SI. Granted what I found here may have pushed me over the fence. I was leaning anyway so it didn't take much. Most of what I have learned about AVBC I have verified of just found elsewhere. Since following the thread closely I will say most of the info has been found here first. Of course, these days, this seems to be where I start. The info from jim was great. This I found nowhere else, too old. A man who has held and accumulated this stock for so many years is obviously too proud to accept a donation and membership from us. So why don't we just do it and let him B..CH about it later. I would be willing to coordinate & see it thru. To keep some of the same old stuff off the thread I posted a PM to charger about you (all good), doing your own DD and not following ANYONE like a sheep to slaughter. I think most of us have been there. I was going to give this one to my boss, partner and very good friend (same person) when it was at .10. I decided it wasn't a good idea. He has his investment style and I have mine. I know he wouldn't do any DD. Right now he is following the experts. I hope it works for him. The information shared here is very valuable. It saves hours of searching and calling. Even if all you get is to find out you aren't the only one getting any information out of a phone call or an email. Someone else may try and get lucky. If they do they will share, cool! Before investing for the first time I read all I could. I learned the basics. I followed for years and made faux investments to see how I would do, they got better with time. By actually getting involved I have learned so much more! The pennies have their own rules, I didn't know that! I follow about 10 threads here. Most I just read. Some have been abandoned and replaced. This is the most positive one I have encountered, with good reason. It's a great product line. All the up-front work is done. What's the rule in a new company, 3-5 years to get over those costs and make a profit? Aren't we almost there? Gary, keep it coming. I know I need and appreciate it. I believe we all (or most of us) do. Jeff
