It's called CLOUT. As long as we hold together the volatility will be small, and won't attract the action people. Slow and easy here, and if we pick up all the stock that we can and keep it tight, when the price goes up, we could see a stock split. I would love to see it split at 30. Anyone with me. JMHO!!! raven

Kevin, as the resident lawyer, let me assure you that not only can we report our shares on the thread, we can also act in concert with each other.

Kevin: I think that these are pretty accurate answers to your 2 questions: Answer to Q 1. Yes - (MS reads the threads) Answer to Q 2. No To expound on your collusion question, we are all free agents with no real control over what the other guy does. Also - when I bought my stock, nobody told me I couldn't share the numbers with Harry. As Raven said, "It's called CLOUT." Someday (probably to protect the poor MMs) somebody will try to eradicate or limit stock threads. Until that day occurs, we're helping to stabilize a great and deserving company. We're doing what any owners or employees of a quality company should do. Help it succeed. My original selfish intent of buying a moneymaking stock has evolved into much more. Now, knowing the company better and having "met" you and the rest of the quality human beings on this thread, I will be as thrilled to see your successes, as my own. I never expected that bonus, and it's a terrific feeling. Wally

Kevin, I'm not a lawyer, but I always thought that being owners (shareholders) of a PUBLIC company is a method for empowering individuals (and, of course, raising capital) in a capitalist society. If we get together to decide what we want the company to do, we have a lot more clout than just "conspiring" on SI or in a meeting hall someplace. We can actually direct the focus and implementation of companies we "own" by voting! When I get proxy statements in the mail, some of them are from disgruntled officers or investors who want a big change in the way their company does business. I can't see anything different in tallying "our" shares. Only in this case we're on the side of management. Yes, MS certainly cares, but he can't do what he needs to if he's always thinking about "What would the shareholders do in my place." In fact, I want just exactly what he wants and am overly elated that he has the job and I don't. Let's get a legal opinion from some of the closet lawyers on this thread. C'mon, fess up, we know you're out there.... All the best, M.
