The Yahoo board, imho, is not as "heavyweight" as SI. First of all one poster could have 20 names, and create a riot all by him/herself. That cannot happen on SI. Charger

Sid, Bentley Blum has started or bought dozens of companies over the years. Most have been very speculative investments and a few have crashed. Many, however, have done very well. He doesn't have a 100% record, but who does. A friend who has dealt with Blum describes him as an eccentric genius who lives on a large estate with 50 cats. It is extremely difficult to break into the Federal remediation market with a new technology, especially now since the Republican congress has slashed cleanup funds year after year. Also, there is an increasing acceptance for keeping the nasty stuff under institutional control rather than remediating it. DOE has signed many Federal Facilities Agreements (FFAs) with the states that mandate cleanup. However when budget shortfalls occur, DOE just says "sorry, no money, sue me". Winning technical acceptance and contracts with the Feds doesn't necessarily translate into dollars. My point is, I guess, that Commodore has a bright future but stock price increases will depend on revenues and profits, not demonstration projects. I bought most of my shares during the dip into the low twos so I'll just be patient and wait. BTW, life is too short to spend time on the Yahoo boards.
