I believe that you on the other hand..really may have a problem, if in fact the pumping and dumping idea is illegal. You have already admitted you did that on these boards. Technically, you did the same thing that I admitted to, in the sense that, I showed enthusiasm for a stock, but then got rid of my shares because I didn't like what I saw. That's what I admitted to. And I was told I was a "pumper and dumper." If that's the definition of pumping and dumping, then that's what I am. The thing is, however, that I have admitted to pumping and dumping. But you must've also missed the post in explaining that it was not my intent to "pump" it for the sake of "dumping" it. I didn't dump a stock right after I pumped it because I thought it was a worthless stock. I told you that I sold my shares right after I had a conversation with Roland Breton, in which I asked him where his factories were... and he didn't know. I did pump, Allen... you did, Ellen did, and most of the yeasayers did (if the definition above is the correct one). It doesn't matter what board I pumped on, does it? The bottom line is that most of the yeasayers pumped because they honestly felt there was a chance that the fundamentals of this stock would be ok. Then when I found out they were not, I unloaded everything I had, told my family my findings, and went onto another stock. Because we have a ton of people here who are fanatical crucifixionists, you have to be very suspect as to definitions of pumping and dumping. So that's why I pay it no mind... if the authorities come knocking, I'll show them my trading records and explain why I did what I did. You seem to think I have more of a problem than I, or any of the naysayers do... are you a field expert in this matter...? <g> The Evil Dead
