I agree. If all the investors who have declared themselves "long" on FNTN in this thread are honestly so, then they'd be happy to wait until they see a piece about it on WSJ, Bloomberg or MSNBC. In the meantime, why not spend the time and effort researching other similar prospects? There's no doubt that true longs are patient by nature. Following this stock minute-by-minute-day-in-day-out is crazy at best, if not downright masochistic. Relax, people!

To ALL: Just a little more on the "panic" rhetoric we are seeing. Trust me, I've been there, and done that. You learn. The trouble with panic selling, is that it becomes a learned behavior. Each time you panic on nothing, and sell, the next stock you're most likely going to do it again, on anything a little negative. And it comes from reaching an obsessed point with an investment. You have to force yourself to back away. We have seen posts that show us how "emotions" dictated individuals decisions in the early days of AOL, and AMAZON. You can go back to those sites and read them yourselves. Its a great tool to keep your cool. Look at how people jumped out for no real reason, and then say to yourself, "Ok, lesson learned. I'll try not to do that." If we lose on this, I'll know that I took a good risk and lost. But if I sell out early, for no reason, like I did with AOL, and it goes up, then those are the memories that are hard to look at, because I have absolutely not justification for getting out. Oh, yes, I saw that there was competition with compuserve, and prodigy, but that was no reason, it was an EXCUSE to get out and move on, because it just wasn't moving fast enough for "Me the Gambler". that person has left my body. Thank goodness. "he" did plenty of damage. Now I will stick with the ship unless it gets totally off course.
