Has anybody on this board been over to AOL's shark tank lately. The situation has gotten out of hand. Some shorts are accusing Louis Riley of hyping stocks, Egghead in particular, and Louis Riley is threatening to sue them. Here is a link to the premium section of thestreet.com that discusses it in detail. thestreet.com This is the same Louis Riley that was hyping Zitel on the Motley Fool board before the great runup of December 1996.

Thanks Hank. While at the doctors getting scans to assess my health, I took more than a 50K unexpected hit while under the instruments for an afternoon and out of contact. Since then, although I was in 7 unrelated sectors which have amazingly in concert worked against me-basic diversification, but unsuccessful. I have been so badly battered by all this in the last two weeks, I am close to being manipulated to death, and on a forced run of horrendous liquidations. ZONA does not appear to have anything of value in Vasomax. Until I pull out of the crunches I am in, ZONA will have to remain a thought. I have enemies who are wealthy and have done just about everything they can get away with to further my financial hardships. I had a breath of financial health, but my capital is now in jeopardy--it is not likely to be enough to support my family. I would like to explain the details so that others could learn more from my experience, but I am afraid that information could be used to finish me off in short order. God knows. Only the fool acts as if there were no God. May my enemies be blessed with wisdom. Signing off , m
