<< We don't need ra ra ra from someone one minute, who's selling in your face the next. >> I believe your message was meant for me. No attempt here to gloat and I would be sad to see people interpret what I wrote last night as at attempt to scare people out of the stock today. In fact, the opposite -- I went to great pains to say that there's a good chance the stock will plunge today (it has EVERY time this past year after a sharp spike and this one was the sharpest yet), BUT I also pointed out that people who sold on the day of the spike down got burnt bad UNNECESSARILY. (Are you listening Skane?) I also bought on the spike up in April, very close to the top and know first hand that exercising patience pays off. My comments are not meant to disturb the longs into thinking they've got a bad stock otherwise I wouldn't have announced plans to buy back in today from the people who think Wall Street is a casino where things can go up or down without rhyme or reason and "investing" is simply a game like the lottery. As I said yesterday, is this a question of being on the "team"? Or a question of making money? In the long run, I see no reason why your approach and mine won't make us money, so why the disgust and anger on your part? I repeat: No offense meant. If you take the time to look at my history of posts on SI, you'll see that I'm the chief long poster on PARS, a terrifically undervalued biotech selling for just about the same amount as FNTN did at the high yesterday although it already has two products on the market. If you're gonna quote me, please quote this: <<The FNTN idea is a fabulous one. If I had bought at higher prices yesterday I would sit tight today and hold onto my shares. An opportunity to sell them for a profit won't take inhuman patience. It might only take a few weeks.>> Best regards and good luck, Ariella
