See BMFM, all you have to do now is to buy puts and pray. I bought and like a hog got slaughtered. I had my finger on the button at 24 and told myself, "new car, new house, new girlfriend!" and waited. Went to pour coffee and got back and it was 19. I chase for a half hour and it hit 19 3/16 and I sold at market. Now I have it written on the mirror in the bathroom, Hit the button STUPID. Lost a little, learned a lot. I hope it all works out for you. You are right. 5' 5" is not short to 5' 4". It is all in where you measure from. Thats Entertainment Bill on the Hill

I agree that there may be viable technology but I see that much bigger fish can completely overrun a stock such as GERN, as you know GERN should have been owned at 4-6 bucks not at 15 plus...Now e have only the momentum and day traders involved and they are the worst bunch of Yahoo's around buying without thinking and selling on sheer panic... the deals you talk of possibly happening are still many years away and I have to fault the company with exploiting infancy stage results that only harm the unsophisticated lay-man. GERN is not going to get the pop up that everyone anticipates.. this I can almost bank on.. However the news has been emerging as news filled with a renewed caution. Even on CNBC they made sure to read the Safe-Haven statement that companies that hype up their shares hide behind in an attempt to shield themselves from litigation. positive news over the weekend will have a negative slant seeing that there is no short term advantage in owning these shares and all the prospects are bleak for at least the next 6 to 18 months.
