TRUTH: Wow. Feel better getting that off your chest? If you bought ALYD originally at $0.40 you've held it for a very, very long time. Since before June of '96, which is as far back as the chart goes. The lowest it has ever traded while being charted was just under 10 during May of '97. If I had watched this stock go from $0.40 all the way to 32 1/2, and was still holding it at 17'ish ... I guess I'd feel a little grumpy, too. Look at all those profits that would have slipped through my fingers. Why, I'd be darned right upset! If I had been in that situation, and sold at 30'ish, just think of all the shares I could buy back at this level. Or, if the shorts have their way or the investing community doesn't like the idea of a secondary (IF?), I could have bought back at even lower levels. Yep, I suppose if I hadn't locked in those profits, I'd be REALLY grumpy. I think there's a lesson to be learned here. Wonder what it might be? Thanks for sharing your experiences. We can all learn from each other by utilizing this wonderful communications medium that SI has provided us. Isn't it interesting how one's perspective can affect one's thinking? TED

TRUTH, give me a brake. You know for a fact that I cannot control the price of this stock. No one but Bob Gruder has that power. You know the guy that did a private placement before to foreign investors instead of those of us who had supported the stock for years. That's what the bitch is all about. If any of us could control the price it would be at $200 per share with all the cheerleading that has gone on about this stock. I respect you and I'm not going to get into a Pising contest with you in a public forum. Nor will I get into a get into name calling as you have. So you can save the comments about "growing up" and calling people "bozo" and "mom and pops". Don't get on my as, get on Gruder. Only Mr. Gruder has the key to the price of this stock. Furthermore, if you're in for the long haul and you are buying then you could appreciate buying at $15 instead of $17 or $18. Remember the old buy on dips theory. Share with us some of the things that leave you without doubt and 100% confident that every thing is okay. As always your opinion is respected and appreciated. -Robert Remember that I'm on the side of you and all the other longs in this stock. Unfortunately, like others who have questioned management, I'm under a personal attack to the point of being called names.
