Nice article! I noticed that you have posted here in the past and that you have a sense of humor, both of which I feel are good. Let me ask you something. This is not meant to be an argumentative question. Do you still believe that this stock is going nowhere for a long time? I just heard something recently which I believe could apply to one of your observations/opinions that you made in a past post (1732). It's in regards to the solar panels. What if, they are selling plenty of solar panels, but they're not turning a profit? What would that mean? Could they be going for more market share? And, once they have that, they raise the price and start turning a profit (big profit?). I must admit I am not as savvy, as some of the others on this thread, when it comes to understanding the full workings of bring a product to market. But, it's interesting/educational to see how ECD baffles, for lack of a better term, even the most knowledgeable people when it comes to the things that ECD does. Most of us believe in Stan and the company, as you yourself have mentioned. I am almost of the belief that ECD wants to have a low profile (for now?). But, I don't necessarily understand why. Speaking in laymen terms, I want to make money (GRIN). What has happen in the past with those that have bought into and then sold ECD is that they wanted it to happen right then, as we all do. If you look back, there were plenty of opportunities to buy low and sell high. Anyone could have been making money all along. The problem is that those people that bought and watched the price go up, figured “this is it” and didn't sell. No one wants to miss the boat. I don't try to knock anyone for their beliefs in what they invest in (it's their money). I just try to understand their reasoning behind their beliefs. As Michael mentioned to me, “no one has all the answers.” Again, that was a good article you posted. I'll be watching for further developments in that area. Post them if you've got'em.
