<<"Try a different approach for a change!" Huh? >> Sure, just make up a story and post it on the thread. You know, "negative cash flow," "$8 in January 1998." Just use your imagination.

Your the Master, along with Billy and John, of the profound traditional fundamentalist approach that eventually moves investors to buy a security and make it rise. That approach does not work if your a small cap in a Bear Market. It works in bull markets and sideways markets. I want to say for the record that I am a long term C-Cube Bull and extremely bullish on digital. But at best over the short term, money invested here is dead; it can be put to better use elsewhere for the time being. Look at the Bear Market volume here; it's pitiful. There is more risk here short term than reward. A different public relations approach can only help; it certainly can't make matters worse.
