Dear Tomato Heads, have I got a story for you. While we were all busy on SI today, the GODS that watch over FNTN were busy elsewhere. A friend of my wife is a bond analyst here in New York City. I have been talking with her for the last week or so about FNTN and she was getting more and more interested, but the thought of buying a BB stock went against her grain. Well, after seeing the run on Monday and Tuesday, she called her broker this morning and tried to put in a buy order. Her broker did everything he could to keep her from buying. Saying that why would she want to buy a worthless piece of cr#p at 89 cents. She said because the Tomato Man told her to. He asked who the hell was the Tomato Man. She said, "He's the Tomato Man and he knows!!" Well the broker looked at his screen and he said "Holy S**T, this thing is up to .95, what the hell does the Tomato Man know that we at Smith Barney don't know". She said, "You Idiot, he's the Tomato Man, just pull the GODDAMN TRIGGER!" Then he said, "This thing is at a buck now, what do you want me to do?" She was then screaming into her phone, "BUY BUY BUY you Idiot!!!!!!!" Well, she got in for a buck, but she never noticed the other analyst that sits with her had picked up his phone and put in a buy. After lunch, he came in with a big sign that said "$1.48". She said what is that, and he said that was the price of FNTN now and he had placed an order while she was yelling at Smith Barney. Just then her phone rings and it's her broker. He said that his group had pulled up the FNTN chart and he said that he has never seen such a strong buy chart in memory. He said it was a classic. He told her that he had assigned an analyst at Smith Barney to start tracking FNTN and write a complete report. He said that he cannot issue a buy recommendation until they get the report done, and he was putting a rush on it.
