"Have you called anyone at ALYA and voiced your concerns?" No, who do you suggest the company psychologist? Maybe I will would you like the answers? "If you have and are still concerned then don't invest in ALYA. If you are invested and are losing sleep, then sell and find another investment worth the risk." I thought that I made it abundantly clear that I was doing DD. There are other people on the the thread that may want to "invest" in the company as well, but would like some explanations for hard questions. "I still don't see any bookkeeping tricks." Oh. Would you mind explaining to us why what I explained to you in some detail is not a trick. I think that is what I asked for. If you understand it let us know, it may be quite innocent I do not know. "This is no promotional scam set on ruining investors." Did you not state that it already has been a pump and dump show. Apparently some investors have already suffered major hits. "ALYA has yet to make a profit but judging from their earnings projections that will happen next year." The "revised" earnings projections are one of the suspect news releases that I asked you about, what was the basis for the revision a crystal ball or maybe someone viewed some entrails. "Until then and even after the stock will probably move higher but not without hiccups." As long as it does not throw up. "Is it reasonable to blame World Vision or ALYA for the lack of stock performance since it reached it's high last April?" Who knows, but who ever is putting out the news releases is a possibility for blame and why are the shareholders paying WV for this display of ineptitude, for what purpose when the company is strapped for cash? I already asked this you but you decided not to answer. "You know very few stocks actually move much higher on news unless that news is so spectacular and unexpected that a buying frenzy ensues." How about a selling frenzy on trumped up news. "I tried to buy more ALYA today. I would have in fact quadrupled my position but I put in a limit order and it did not fill. I am very disappointed because when I look at ALYA I see a stock that has a very limited downside that will return to previous lofty peaks before the end of the year." Let me tune my violin and approach the Alps. Sounds like hype, is there a chart pattern that predicts this? "You know the old story. Buy on the rumor, sell on the news?" That is exactly what I was asking you about. "Here is a rumor for you: ALYA just might be a good buy at these levels." Thanks. "New investors considering a buy in ALYA should continue to place small limit orders. The stock will run on anticipation of earnings as further contracts are announced but it's going to be a while yet before ALYA is really making money." Is that new or baa? Seems like hype. Sorry to be so detailed Leffrey and possibly obstreperous, but I did go to the trouble of answering your questions, it sort of irked me when you did not address mine. Thanks for your initial erudite comments, it was a brave start. bf
