Pretty good synopsis-- if I could have verbalized that is what I would have said.

Thanks for the well articulated post. This is my first BB stock and because of the facts about the company, I am holding all my shares. I could have sold and bought back in, but I think this is a sound company with fantastic potential. The very type that could well send you into space. Best regards, Matt

A well thought out post, Tim. I would like to suggest a change of tactic in responding to the naysayers on this thread. This worked well on the TAVA thread. Try responding to their questions and accusations with well thought out logical posts. Let's try to completely cut out the emotional posts (I'm as guilty as the next guy, I know) and simply continue to reiterate the positives about the company. Even if we must do it over and over again. This serves two purposes. 1.) it totally defrays the arguments of the naysayers (that is if ICVI/ME is legit) and 2.) it constantly reminds the longs of the reasons they invested. I know it is harder and may be more frustrating but it worked on TAVA and will work here (IMHO). Instead of re-writing posts for redundant information try posting links to the relevant posts (either on this thread of ME Research thread) or cutting & pasting the information. I think we would all be best served by more reminders of the positives of ME and less of the idle chit chat. My final word on the subject. If you would like to further discuss the handling of naysayers PM me. Thanks, Eric

You ought to post this on Yahoo, there are many there who could use a dose of real world knowledge instead of the positive and negative hypesters.

REPOST:HEADER: ICVI investors must read: Comments by Tim.P, a non-SI ME DD memeber and lurker and strong believer. Thanx Tim. I'm still holding 5K for the long-term, but I feel like I'm in uncharted waters since I'm relatively new to internet-influenced BB stocks. For what it's worth, here's my two cents on current events: 1) The Press Release: a) Leaks of it's release fueled folk's hopes - when it was relatively minor - it was a letdown and day-traders bailed with MMs moving in for a kill; b) People need to understand that the acquisition of 8,000 acres may amount to nothing. A likely scenario is that the previous land owner entered this deal under the condition that they would get a percentage of whatever ME found and extracted. Therefore, if the land is worthless - they get nothing - if ME does find huge reserves - they'll strike it rich too. ME folks would not buy land with unproven mineral/ff reserves (unless it was significantly dirt-cheap and did not effect the bottom-line) and the previous owners would not allow themselves to be "hoodwinked". 2) I think a percentage of the people posting on the SI board need to improve the quality of their messages. Maybe I have no right to point this out since I'm only a reader, but still, I consider you and most of other folks investment associates, kindred spirits and friends. Most likely, the current negativity is short-term - but it's still not in our best-interest. This is a widely-read board, therefore, alot of current and potential investors are using it as a gauge in determining the health of ME. If I had just starting reading the board four days ago, I would have not read further, let alone invested in ME. Again, for what it's worth, opinions challenging the prospects of ME should be addressed respectfully and with clear and articulate logic based on a opinion supported by analysis, that in turn is based on solid data. In this case, ME speaks for itself. For the emotionally-handicapped posters that keep harassing the board - folks should just ignore them. Being ignored will drive'em mad and turn them into a desperate comedy act (an unintended one !). After everyone has had plenty of laughs they'll eventually go away frustrated. 3) Other reasons for the stock price drop: a) I think in this case it's unwise, but can you really blame folks who got in around .15 for bailing at .7 ? It's a natural upward spiral in this case - folks buy at .15, then bail at .8 and then others buy at 0.5, hoping to bail at 2 or 3. Everybody wants to lock in their profits, regardless if more patience could reward them 10-fold more; b) MM boys; c) ME management wants a shake-out to increase the number of long-term holders. Their company is in it's infancy - a delicate time period. The stock getting jerked around by whoever could cause some serious PR problems and potentially hinder future growth. Plus, they want to control and direct and not cede it to some MMs who don't share their goals; 4) Long-term outlook: for the reasons I stated in previous emails to you, I still firmly believe this company is going to be very successful. Nothing has changed - except for the fact that fossil fuels are going up in price. This month I'm going to try to contact Jack U. (if he can spare the time). I'll email anything worthwhile. Well, I apologize if I rambled or offended anyone. Hope to hear from you soon. Sincerely, Tim
