Wiseowl indeed! -English corrected either way: 1)I lost "myself" pacing the floor those few fate filled days!>> 2)I lost my "personality" pacing the floor those few fate filled days!>> My wife referred to it as "prowling". Knowing me all these years she had never seen this part of my behavior. I was thinking myself to the moon, and it worked! It actually worked. But for what sound reason. Is this investing? Emotion drove that stock from .045 to 1 7/8 in 2 1/2 trading days. Not mine. Everybody's. Emotions were running wild. Historical trading records were being broken on the AMEX. W.S.Jurnal finally just accepted it as Wall Street's Newest Darling. The trouble is. There was no real basis for the emotion. It fed off itself, that's all. And this emotion is what Hype Artists are/have been/"will be" having a hay day with. No true basis. Just temporary mass activity, kindled by a few carefully placed ideas. An embarrassment to the wsj and countless investors holding the bag in the end. Profiting on that one did not make me an investor but it sure harmed a lot of people, who accepted loss. Dave
