"at 1.20$ can. it.s a very good deal" Perhaps--If you understand the business and believe that there is some hidden value in SoftQuad's XML expertise, or that the arbitration will win something for SoftQuad. That is where I am, and I consider the revenue from the add-ons, Alphasoftware's other products, and perhaps the Playstation thing as gravy. I however am somewhat worried that the few of us who are active on this thread have not been able to attract any other folks to this topic here on SI. That could mean that either we are mistaken in our belief that SoftQuad has some value, or the many other members on SI are fools. (actually the answer is probably that SoftQuad has value, but we can never truly know what it is, and yes, we are all fools, because we are entertained by the movements in the prices of stocks--when the truth is that there are far more useful activities to be engaged in) The members of this thread have posted messages on the ecommerce thread, the xml thread, and a couple of the internet threads, and yet there are only about five of us very active here. How can this be. My gut tells me that SoftQuad is worth a lot more than the 12M market cap, what a joke! And yet I cant help but feel that I have deluded myself. I have done it before (and even the worst delusion made me a lot of money...) I hope I have done my homework this time. I received a PM from a fellow who seems very bright, and he said that he never buys stocks below $5--his reasoning sounded very smart, and yet, I cant help but think how I quadrupled my money this year, and all on stocks which traded between a nickle and three bucks! But maybe my luck will run out? I think the smartest thing to do now is shut up and wait, before I give anybody else bad vibes (esecurities started it!) ;-) Finally, most of the reason I've been posting messages this past weekend, is the movement of the stock back down to 3/4ths. On such low volume, worrying about that is probably the least of my concerns.
