Mike, George is the resident "games" expert here so I will defer fundamental analysis to him. I just checked the activity in MPRS. Kind of a large spread isn't it? .08 x .18? The spread is larger than the bid! As of 2:40pm, the stock has had a whopping total of $180 change hands (one trade for 1000 @ .18). I'm no expert, but that sounds like "thinly traded" to me.... I'd rather staple my fingers together than buy this one.... Caveat: I know zilch about penny stocks. Chuck

Mike, sorry had to run out and just returned. I am no game expert. Any stock trading at 2 and does a 5:1 reverse split is in trouble when their stock trades 5 or 1/2 of what it did prior to the split. I have been there b4. I really can not tell you to sell or hold. I have done both and it really does not seem to matter. You might put a Stop Loss on it and prey. Hope this helps and good luck. George

Follow up on previous post and my pick of the week Well, I did end up getting Microprose, and it went up on those rumors to 5 1/4 very briefly, alas I am still holding everything I picked up at 4 1/2, sticking to my origianal plan, nuff said, old news. Pick for this week is PLAT, could be a wild ride-- I don't know if I am going to play or not, maybe an options straddle? Except I don't play options anymore, so I guess I wont be in it. But you folks might want to check it out, good luck. platinum.com
