KIPPer, Don't despair. We invest in BB companies because the potential for growth and share price appreciation is there. This thread has become one of many which run through a typical pattern of 1) discovery; 2) increase in posts (nearly all positive); 3) naysayers arrive to stir the pot and challenge the "hype" of the people who are already making money on the stock ; 4) confusion begins to ensue as a combination of the three start happening at the same time (new investors discovering the stock, continued spread of good news and positive outlooks on the thread, and naysaying). At this point, we find ourselves with ICVI (soon to be MTEI). It can be frustrating for the good-faith investors and certainly keeps some new money away because of the confusion on the thread. Nevertheless, as more news emerges from the company and we begin to see it become more clearly defined, the value will be apparent. I've seen stocks go through this cycle and really fizzle out because they couldn't deliver. I've also seen them go through the cycle and the strength of the stock's fundamentals emerge and crush any negative speculation. We will know soon with ICVI/MTEI. I am betting on the latter and prefer to buy my shares at this low price rather than waiting and buying at $2 or $5 or $10 -- wherever this one will end up. If it goes down, well, I took a chance and lost. There are no guarantees in this game. All that being said, I am looking forward to this week and the weeks to come because I am comfortable with the risk/reward potential this company possesses. If others disagree, so be it. The continuous blathering doesn't bother me -- everyone needs something to do to make themselves feel worthwhile. I have a family and a job that do it for me :) Best regards, Scott
