Roy.... I can't disagree that those who initially invested into this company have taken a big hit. I hope you're not one of them. It sounds like Chick was. I also can't disagree that investors have a long memory and distrust doesn't fade easily. However, are we to assume that all the present investors are those from the past? This is what intrigues me. Why doesn't this stock catch on with those surfing through the net or by word-of-mouth by the current crop of investors? As far as the early history for this Company is concerned, I admit I wasn't a part of those times. Several months ago I had an opportunity to speak with Forhan and he seemed genuinely upset by the investment turmoil created in those early days. There were significant problems with Casino Airlink in 1996 and they posted big losses. In our discussion, he acknowledged that he was ultimately in charge and therefore assumed responsibility for these missteps (I have subsequently learned that other circumstances existed which in my mind exonerated him from a good portion of the blame). Management made major alterations in 1997 and profits resulted. Those changes are still reaping substantial benefits and Casino should be even more profitable this year. I'm assuming you are an investor and probably for some time judging by your earlier posts. My question is what strategy would you propose either for we investors or for Integrated Marketing to get this thing going. You yourself posted that this was an undervalued stock last year. Now the company is even stronger and the stock is still suffering. After I spoke to Management recently, I was told that they shun LOI press releases. Rather, they prefer to make public ACTUAL transactions/deals. Well, perhaps I goaded them into releasing the recent news, an LOI. What happened?....very little. So what should they do?....we do? Personally, I'm not very good about hyping or simply chatting on these boards. I've told all my family and friends about POKR and assume they have been a part of the recent trades, particularly at these prices. As I said before, I have been accumulating more and more along the way. Perhaps, patience, patience, patience is all that is needed. Trust the market and it will eventually discover this gem.
