no rose colored glasses here #reply-5927186 or here #reply-5927613 or here #reply-5927828 or here #reply-5928060 or here #reply-5928165 If you want further evidence, do some of your own digging If you're going to come on to a thread and accuse me of hyping a stock, better read things through. Yes, I have had a lot of bullish posts too, look at the facts surrounding the situation. It's easy to give a blanket call on a perspective stock, but when you make such accusing posts, I think it better to read the threads first. This stock has crushed most of the investors here about two months ago, and has bummed us out on a number of occasions too. Some the companies fault, some, circumstances beyond their control. I continue to buy their stock, because quite frankly I believe in the future, and I believe in CKFR. When that changes, I'll be sure to post that too. If MSFT moves into a significant part of their business, I'm sure there will be a dozen or more holders to point this out, me included. Myself and others have been nothing less than straight out and honest to you on this, and other threads. If you're going to buy a stock, do it on your own merit. EVERYONE! I'm not currently on margin, and I wouldn't advise anyone to to it either. I am posting what the hell I'm doing. Bottom line. If you want, read, and join in, if not, don't think you're pulling off any masks. Sheesh, I had a bad enough day. That being said, I will welcome any relevant discussions you might care to share about the prospects or obstacles this companies future might hold.

>>>I've come upon other boards where the regular posters either have a big position in the stock or is a stock promoter. I think Tom, Benny, and August may be the former. ...and why do you feel the need to attack the posters on this thread?

Steve - my take on the lads (A/B and T) is that they are indeed substantial shareholders. Sincere to a fault and probably experiencing considerable pain given the downdraft. (As am I!) Time'll tell...Peter

I've come upon other boards where the regular posters either have a big position in the stock or is a stock promoter. I think Tom, Benny, and August may be the former. I had a really long answer to that...4 or 5 paragraphs...but I'm stupid..and couldn't get the spelling right on all the words, so I'll cut it short..you and your horse.

Steve, It's really a shame when an investor does not take responsibility for their own actions. To even suggest that August, Benny and Tom are stock promoters shows your ignorance. These three and many others have gone out of their way to keep this thread informed of every nuance of CKFR's business and e-commerce in general, They understand the companies business and the potential for e-commerce and I am sure they are as mystified as everyone else as to the current price levels, but rest assured, they are suffering along with everyone else. I find it reprehensible when someone like you shows up and "slings mud". Keep your 2 cents worth. jjbucci
