Frog man, If the question was asked of anyone involved with any stock, "sould I mortgage the farm and put all of my money into xyz stock?" The prudent response would have to be similar to the one that was given by "Peter" (?). Otherwise, that person or company opens themselves up for a law suit. Secondly, they couldn't come out and say, yeh, bet the farm we've just signed up so and so and are signing up these guys in the next 9 to 39 days. That would be letting out insider information and the SEC has a thing about that, pain in the butts as they are. So, with regards as to how the question was asked, the response is the right thing to do. I still believe that Wave is the chip mentioned in the CRN article and will be hearing it for certian very soon. Good luck and GO WAVE. bob

Dear Majikfrog: Let's assume for a moment that the quoted e.mail is authentic. The only thing that surprises me is that Mr. Sprague took the risk of responding. Once he chose to do so, his further choice to be very conservative was only prudent. Apparently, someone with $1000 and a dream of pulling a quick flip on WAVX was asking about calls and ruminating about mortgaging his worldly possessions in pursuit of leverage. Being a good guy, Mr. Sprague told him not to be rash. Other than not responding, what else should he have done? Assuming that the quoted e.mail is authentic, that is. Best wishes.
