John, I guess that's what it's all about...I still hold SBI as well...I bought PYOC and WAST, watched them drop to the crapper then said what the Hey...I held on and was rewarded with a bounce back that exceeded my original purchase price... :> I sold half of each to recover my investment + 30% (I'm not greedy, sure..., I'll sell you a bridge :>), like all of us I like to make money (but!!, NOT at the expense of others). I look at it this way...BNTI and SYD are both owned by TechWest...Grant (I think his other holding company is something like Bejeu, will have to check my records, as he trades through that also) and Owen have substantial holdings...here's what I expect, no news to let the price continue to fall or remain at status quo, if not buying directly, have someone else peck away at it, then hype it for a little for a pump and dump for a 100% profit...we too can play this game...if this is the case...this is not a recommendation...there is enough on the table to squeeze this orange a couple of more times... On the other hand, if the BNTI rumors come through, there is instant major respect to be gained by SYD management (same team) and SYD will have a coat-tail...and we all know that BNTI took YEARS to get to an income producing entity (not there yet)...SYD will continue but only on Dr.Bean or something else that they are able to come up with that is cutting-edge (the patent story is dead), just look at all the knock-off products that are on the market... I am interested in exchanging ideas via the SI private mail option on stocks that may be ready for a run up based on fundementals, well...speculative ones that are getting a lot of hype from the News Letters will also work. :> As far as NNS, several weeks ago I heard from a friend that he was still holding this stock waiting for some "honey", I had previously sold as a 3X-4X...hope he took his profits today...it is being hyped, and to the extent that some European Investors have pooled their funds for a major buy yesterday (they were gambling, playing a "great" psychology game)...however, when I posted the Financials to the threads this morning (from StockWatch), NNS posted a loss...some might say they are turning a corner, as losses are decreasing (look at how high these Internet stocks are flying on zero (0) earnings)...but take a good look at sales and competition, and more importantly, the actual market, who cares...the best application to date is that now one filter company can filter out Banners... I may be incorrect and the Europeans have Inside Information (is that still illegal, and I'm not talking about a sick bird)...but it is a differnt country... SYD and BNTI have the technology that can be applied to a major and varied audience...I still like them, but, as I hedged SYD with more BNTI, I am hedging both with other investment opportunities... Later...Gator BTW, Please excuse any typos, as I still refuse to use a spell or syntax check, and also refuse to look at the screen while I'm typing...I'm a hunt-and-pecker... :>
