No. I never said they weren't helpful. What is the matter with English, I wonder. It turns to Sanscrit here. Can't quite figure it out. To recap. I called and got stock rep. #1 right before the conference call because I felt I should be in for more shares. I have very few shares. Nothing like some others here. I asked pertinent questions based on the PRIOR fall of GMGC from grace. He did not know such answers but said "my boss knows a lot more, do you want to talk to him?" I said, yes, I would like to. That man called me back at work and he was reved and excited and we had a long talk, great talk, and I bought back in right after hanging up the phone and before the CNBC conference that spiked, as anticipated, to 16. Then, still unsure of whether or not this would go through a lot more profit taking, I called again to see if anything else was in the wind, or if that person had lost some of his zeal. Instead, this time I got a bland sounding girl who more or less read a very controlled script, and it was apparent that was her job. She had nothing to say to me particularly that led me to believe there was going to be anything but silence and more profit taking. She could only tell me many times to any question that they were anticipating growth after the release of Portico in the end of July. This was not worth the call, of course. So, I sold my second batch based on that phone call. It was good, because I'm sick of riding out dips and I don't do it well, and was not therefore in a dip situation. So, my advise to this person I posted to, whoever, was that if he wanted stuff from the source, go to the source, and try to get through to the guy I talked to that I feel is quite good and does a good job. I didn't know his name, except that he seems to be in charge of the stock rep. department and apparently has two employees working for him, one a rather bland sounding girl who was the flip side of her boss. The other a great guy who really doesn't know that much beyond simple basics, which is not what I'm looking for. I like to ferret out things if I can. That's all. This is a 415-something number. When I want to know something I'll talk to him.
