Jeff- Thank you for your post. You hit the nail on the head regarding ALYD moving its business plan forward. The business is coming and the company reported real earnings this quarter. Kind of makes you wonder what the Q2 numbers will be like <ggg> Tech Master

Uhm, excuse me sir but would you like to correct your misinformation ? >> Prodding a company that just grew 36% to do more simply because the traders are getting restless is an act of desperation and frustration. ALYD does not cater to desperate and frustrated people. << - JM Well, heck, I guess I must of been watching the wrong thread for the last year. The traders are the furthest thing from the desperate and frustrated people you talk about. I think it is obvious, or that it should be to anyone who is non biased in their views, that it is the longs who are the most upset, frustrated, and desperate. The traders are the only ones who have done well. How can you make such inaccurate and false statements ? Tell us Jeffrey, do you consider yourself a trader ? And if not, how much has ALYD and its management increased the value of your shares over the past year ? >> ALYD's entire business plan is to increase its infrastructure to handle massive amounts of code quickly and easily when it starts flowing. Should they change their plans just to inflate their eps to satisfy traders? << - JM The number one reason a company should be in business is to promote shareholder value. (PERIOD) >> Criticizing companies and investors at this stage of the game shows lack of understanding of the fundamental problem at hand. << - JM Avoiding the facts at hand and trying to keep up the same line and dance that has been present on this thread in the past year just won't cut it. Those people who were told to hold on and not to trade and were promised that their investment was going to blossom on ALYD's results were lead to slaughter. The smoke put up in the air by Techmaster and others, kept peoples eyes off of all the signals that were showing up. the increase in short interest the article in the bear tracker the activity in on the may put options. the warnings of tech and others. all these things could have been warning signals of what was going to happen, yet they were dismissed by the manipulators on this thread, and the investors eyes were turned away from all the signals that were out there and focused on grandiose projections. The next time you want to talk about shareholder value, I suggest you look at your portfolio, especially your ALYD holdings in the past year, and ask yourself how much ALYD's management increased the value of your "LONG" shares. I am sorry to say that your obvious lack of knowledge in this area has not only cost you money, but has also hurt many of the investors on this thread who followed you in hopes of finding the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. Instead, they only found a chunk of coal.

Jeff--- I am a trader,,, a fairly good one. Made a hell of alot more money trading this stock than most of the investors! I want no company to cater to any trader. If they cater to investors I can make a lot more. Investors and the company needs traders to add momentum at times or the stock would never move. The point is the company is good! The product is great! Now both investors and traders are betting (yes ALYD has now turned into a gamble) the company will perform better than the mgmt! To indicate ANY trader "lacks understanding of fundamentals" is rediculous. A trader that did not understand would fast be broke. Look insde for the lack of understanding of basics! The reasons we are all in this price range has nothing to do with some of the most patient investors around or traders trying to push a little momentum. One INVESTOR said he was down 10% in a year on this issue. My only question to him is why have you not bailed and made 20% somewhere else? Rule #3 to always remember--- you can make money on a bad company and lose money on a great one. We ALL are hoping rule #3 does not apply to ALYD! If not for traders this stock would be lucky to be at 12. If not for such patient investors that know and believe in ALYD plus many that have married this stock it would not be here either. A "frustrated trader" I am not. If it drops to a 20% loss for me I bail! I have taken much bigger hits in the past and it just a cost of doing busines.. like a phone bill. If it does not move soon,,, I bail and go where money can be made. If shareholder value does not increase no one will have to worry about traders as there will be none and damn few investors as well. Those I feel sorry for are those with a large percentage of there portfolio in this stock as it has done crap--- have you noticed the indexes last year? Last month? There is no reason any trader or investor is not up ovr 25% in he past 12 months--- even if holding a small percentage of issues that have performed as bad or worse than ALYD! If your little comments about private messages referred to me--- look again as except for friends that I email and call I send no private messages. This whole scene is rather childish--- it is only money! You will win some and must lose some..... the point is to win more than you lose and keep a sense of humor! Too many have lost their sense of humor as this stock has not done as well as we all expected--- that is too bad! John
