Thanks for the wise advice. You're right that the penny sector has just been pummeled since the glory days of last spring. It doesn't seem to matter how good or bad the companies are; nearly all of them have just gotten smashed. Nonetheless, I do like to work a few penny stocks -- only using Monopoly money and only when my time horizon is long enough to allow the stock to come into play while I'm in it. I likely won't try to catch the falling knife with FGRX, but I'm very interested in the prospect of buying a company that's selling at such a discount to book. Today's $0.32 closing ask compares nicely with a $2.93/share book value. And if it's going to continue to fall, as I'd agree is likely, then the prospect looks even better. I still have to start my DD on this one, and I figured the financials would be a good place to start, once they come online. Thank you again--.

FGRX looks like it will fall right back to whence it came from. ANother great pump and dump penny stock. I feel sorry for the people who bought on the run up and now are down 50% or more in a few days. Hoffy, pump and dump? Joe PTG&LI !!!
