Hey Spidey, you don't publish that drivel on the AZNT thread anymore do you? Just come over to where hopefully other people don't know enough to think that you may actually be on to something, instead of on something.

Why does this guy think he knows more about the public float than the company does? Is it just lies? He has been shown this report from the company from last year that proved the float was twice that last year and since then a whole lot of shares that were restricted have become free trading. I would advise anybody to check anything he says very very close. #http://www.howestreet.com/isdn/971202/971202.053009.AZNT.html Spideymart why can't you tell the truth? If anyone is sucked in by his stories you should read as much of the thread as you can stand to get to know this persons reliability (or lack of it, you decide). zonkie.....
