GY, I too like your spirit.... but it is not solely our job to promote this Company. What we say to others or feel about this Company will have little impact into the daily volume over the short or long run. The Company must use the available Internet resources of pre-existing conduits that have a wide following of readers/subscribers that have flourished at the recommendations of the authors. Credibility recommendations come at a cost.... the question is how much of that cost is management prepared to outlay at this point in time to increase their corporate currency level? This thread and others like it may solidify a potential/prospective shareholders decision to buy after they have been alerted to the potential of this Company by other more significant sources. It is up to the Company to raise the level of awareness in BUGS to the investment community in general. The BUGS thread on Silicon Investor and others that evolve in the future.... perhaps Yahoo, American Online, Bugs@work.... etc. are usually a meeting place for investors after they have maintained an equity ownership position. Please don't assume that the growth of BUGS is solely a responsibility of the existing (750 - 1000) shareholders of BUGS. Yes it would be nice if the exponential nature of one -party informing another party were to stimulate buying activity in BUGS but again.... this is clearly something that shouldn't be placed on the shoulders of existing surplus-lenders who are already pledged to this Company via common stock ownership. The rather lack-luster volume of late portends that shareholder communications amongst peers have dried-up and that is unfortunate. One bout of dramatic sell-off is enough to "break the chain" and in this case the chain has been broken. Were it not for the sell-off recently this perhaps would have been a different post but the fact remains that credibility and awareness has to come from outside of this realm. Granted.... <They may never see this low price again> yet it takes time to develop an interest in a Company enough to stimulate a purchase position.... usually when a share price is on the upmove it lends a certain immediacy to a buying prompt. So..... be that as it may... lets hope that Mr. Hopkins associates will pick up some slack (if they haven't already) and let's push for some prudent expenditures by BUGS management to research and employ the most cost effective method of obtaining new shareholders. U.S. Microbics recent involvement of time and resources into its web-site is prudent only if U.S. Microbics can develop a draw to it. Otherwise it can be classified as a tertiary investment. As you pointed out to me before.... alll things come in...... I for one hope that certain aspects of BUGS resources are being devoted to the established infrastructures already in existence. Those that have a track record of attracting new shareholders. We both know that overcoming inertia is a difficult thing to do. Moving a stationary large vehicle in neutral is difficult until the thing gets rolling. BUGS needs some to overcome this inertia..... What are the chances for a publication advertisement or paid promotional spot on some of the various investment cable stations? How about an endorsement by a new-letter or such? These are the types of things that will work exponentially until significant revenues and such speak for themselves.
