Another Lurker WRITES: Harry: I agree. The bashing has to stop. I used to look forward to coming home and browsing through the thread but lately it has become a joke and frankly, not worth my time. This is a penny stock and this stuff happens. I have been an investor since May of 1997 and bought in at $1.50 a share. I sat through its decline, watching it go to $0.15! Talk about in the toilet!! All along the way I bought and averaged down and knew it would come up because I believed in the company and its product. Also, the alliances (or partnerships) with Worldcom, Siemens, & McGraw Hill reinforce this resolve. (These guys don't throw in with just anybody, we're talking heavy hitters here.) This leads me to believe that I'm in something a little more lucrative than I originally thought. I am not a "true long" in the sense that I hold on to my shares irregardless of the market, I sold all at $2.00 bucks but bought back in at $1.59 almost doubling my original sharehold. And have continued to buy along the way as the bargains present themselves. My point is, we're whining over pennies! Hell, I was down 90% on my original investment at one time. So what's a quarter or half point? When you get into penny stocks you have to be willing to lose it (do I know this part well). If you can't afford it, don't do it! I wish the boys would just buck up! You don't see any of the girls whining! Thanks for letting me vent. (As if you had a choice!)
