Mr. D. and all, Please forgive me for perhaps butting in where I wasn't invited, and if you want, I'll leave for a month or so, but I just have to make a comment or two here. I've been gone all day, and so have no idea what's been transpiring on the threads all day, mainly because it's getting late and I have not had the chance yet to read much. But I think you just answered your own question. You stated that you have $15 million dollars....$5 million of which are invested in the three stocks of ICVI, INFE, and DGIV. And you also state that you have not sold a single share....and I believe you. But if I had $15 million dollars, I could invest $5 million and not sell a single share either. But I can't. I HAVE to sometimes sell part of my shares when I think the price is at a high....and then, if I'm lucky, the price will drop and I'm able to buy back in at a lower price. I need $5,000 this month, and the only place I'm going to be able to get it is from my stocks. However, when I'm sitting there with the money I need for the month....and I see a stock go down the way ICVI and INFE did today....it is SUCH A BLESSING...and then I just HAVE to go buy some shares when I think they're at or near the low. What I'm trying to say is.....I truly believe in the potential of DGIV and INFE and ICVI as much as anybody does....but I'm not in the position to HOLD onto my stocks the way that you can. I wish I were. I wish I had a job that paid me the $40,000 per year that I need...but I don't. So...therefore, I usually have to work my fingers to the bone in order to survive. Since last July I worked 3 different jobs...just to scrape by and make ends meet. I was determined not to touch my stock account. And I didn't. But after 10 months of working that way...I decided to take the summer off and live off of my stocks. Unless I'm very, very lucky....I'll have to begin working in September again....once again....at least at two different jobs, but this year it will be easier....because even with taking this summer off (mainly to be with Valerie), I will still have a MUCH, MUCH higher base than I did last summer. So I feel blessed. Because I know that all I have to do is to work very, very hard for perhaps another year and then there is a good chance that my stock base will be high enough for me to pay off my debts and live off it full time. I'm sorry to be rambling on like this, but my point is....everybody has different circumstances and different needs. And it's not up to anybody to judge anybody else as to how they handle their own stock account...as long as they are telling the truth about how they feel about a stock. I'm telling the truth when I say how much I believe in DGIV. I'm also telling the truth when I say that I think that INFE has a GREAT future!! I also can truly see the potential in ICVI. Thanks to the grace of fate....I was able today to replenish some of the shares which I had to sell earlier in order to pay bills. Of course, now the rest of my bills will have to wait for a while....but I feel SOO GOOOD about getting those shares today at a cheaper price!!!! Thank you for listening. Back to my corner now. Juanita

This is sad... Mr D, Byron, etc. are having to defend themselves from the 'angry mob'... We have fallen prey to a fundamental human trait that the MM's, shorters, and stock pyschs had counted on, 'Personal Agenda'. Everyone has one and since this is not a fund or a well organized group this trait can be exploited... Divide and Conquer is an age old rule that works and works and works again. If you do not understand the fundamentals of this then you had better figure it out because this head play will be used against you throughout life in many areas... How quickly we turn on those we once applauded... The amazing thing is that we blame others for our own decisions. I have yet to make a decision in my life that was not influenced in some way by someone else, even if it was miniscule. I am the last stop on the decision route in my world. When I type in my password and press 'submit' no one, not macker, not RocketMan, not Mr. D, was holding my hand or controlling my mind (not even God and I know that this will piss some of you off)... I have all of my original shares in ICVI, INFE, and DGIV. I said I would play by these rules. I am in the enviable position with DGIV and ICVI of still sitting on a lot of paper gains. I am losing on INFE. Oh well, I still have not gotten the hang of having 100% winners in my accounts, has anyone else been able to achieve this? I have some big losers that I have had to put on the shelf. I have stocks that have been de-listed (that will really piss you off). I have stocks that are performing great and I have had for several years. I freely admit that I have day traded a few times with 1-2k of these stocks but I also have my original shares and have accumulated more with the profits and the dips. They are breaking our spirit folks and that is what they want... You can understand that and let it roll on by or you can fold. Either way, it is your decision... I think that the truly mature and strong are the ones that offer encouragement and support when times are bad. It is easy to be this way when time are good, even a child can do that... The bumper sticker says it all 'Lead, follow, or get out of the way'. Remember, always look both ways before crossing the Wall Street.
