For the record, I have not invested in KTEL, short or long. >>I'll end by posing a couple of questions to you: You stated that you read a lot of press releases. Do you believe each and every one that you read? Why or why not? << No, I don't believe them. While most contain a grain of truth, almost all are slanted to put the subject in the best possible light. >>How many of these do you follow up on with independent research? Why or why not? For the ones that are obviously hype, do you follow them or ignore them? If hype is effective in modifying your behavior, it is so only because you let it.<< You're preaching at the converted. My point was, and remains, that Mr. Riley's "independent analysis" of the company seems to have more to do with his personal investment goals than with the company's realistic prospects. Katherine
