Turboe, as I said, I haven't seen the information on the number of authorized INFE shares posted. Please post it, or direct me to the post containing that information. Yes, you are a regular psychic on INFE, having tossed money into it a week after it started to streak up. I bought into the stock at .27. What did you pay? Guess you are the better "investor"... You get on me for supposedly "bashing" FAMH, then post that you are selling off all your stock in the company. I got out at .32... what did you get for your shares? I believe in more than jumping on bandwagons, at least. I "assume" that INFE could print a good deal of shares, since I find it believe that they are authorized for more than 7 million or whatever the number is they have outstanding. They would print shares to raise a truckload of money, and take advantage of the hysteria generated in trading the stock lately. Any smart CEO would take advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. FAMH (our old buddy stock) began November with 20 MM shares, while authorized for 100 MM. Between then and now, they have printed another 50 MM shares, without ever announcing how many they were issuing, or when. They just sort of slip the number into conversation weeks after the shares are issued. Of course, in November, they said they had "no intention" of issuing more shares. Right. Calling BB companies and expecting nothing but the truth? What planet are you on?

And both of the fore-mentioned do absolutely no DD of their own. You ask if they have called the company, or what the company does-- and they have no idea. Now, now, really. I believe this issue has been covered exhaustively elsewhere. Many of us don't feel that calling the IR rep of a non-reporting BB company is "doing DD". They can tell you whatever they damn please. Sure, the information they release the the people they pay to write "analysts" reports is useful to bear in mind, but it certainly shouldn't be taken as gospel. Don't do REAL DD? Sure I do. Check out the CSHK thread. We've done quite a lot of it there. Asked, and answered, a great many questions the company declined to address. I've given an equally hard time to companies whose stock I've owned. There are always questions that need to be asked, and it's always advisable to seek information from sources not affiliated with the company. On a great many threads, especially BB threads, there's the idea that if you're not a shareholder you have no right to information. This is utterly absurd. And all too frequently, anyone who expresses even tentative doubts about the probable fortunes of the company is viciously attacked. This is childish. Negative viewpoints, even of one's favorite stock, should be considered attentively. I've been blinded by my own excessive enthusiasm in the past; it can happen easily.
