To those new to DCTC, be careful, I am telling you, if you give it enough time, DCTC will eventually "Eat" up first the cash and then every one of the other stocks in your account. *OT James, Spooky. You just described what happened to my account. Then I got even more aggressive and started piping DCTC to my local friends and then to my friends from the CCEE thread. Oh sure, "that's fine" you say but it didn't stop there. That's when the monkey jumped on my back. Oh, the horror. I started stopping strangers at the local mall and urging them to buy DCTC until their eyes glazed or Hagen Daz dripped on their shoes. I'd wait until the attendant wasn't looking and write "DCTC" in the Cinnabon frosting. I'd go to Chinese restaurants and switch the fortunes in fortune cookies with ones that read- "Joy and beauty will fill your life if you buy DCTC. If you don't your foot will wither in 2 days." Then I weaseled a spot on public access cable, dressed up like a cocker spaniel and confessed to being a "barkless, not going on the papers, bitch-shorting bowser of DCTC" begging for forgiveness and I was now Long and Strong. When I started cold calling people out of an Arabic phone book (and I don't even read Arabic) from my parents my dad called the police, who called the SEC, who called the self help group Dummy Control Thy Crazies Now (DCTC-N) who sends a group of DCTC shareholders over to talk you down. They had to hit me with a large wad of certificates ( recently received) as I started ranting snotty remarks in either tongues or Zwebneristics. I finally calmed down after they stuck a DCTC 100 day moving average chart between my teeth. Now I need to go to the DCTC-N meetings until I feel more in control. "Hello, my name is George and I'm a...DCTC'er." Oh, the pride, the shame, the pride, the shame. (Gee, it's kind of like marriage.) I'm thinking about bringing suit against Scottsdale for not warning me this company is habit forming. Thanks for bringing this up James. I feel better now. It's better to share these things than harboring them inside or making stuff up. I know these exact things have happened to most people. Well, maybe not the Cinnabon writing. Onward, George Hey! Outta my way DAMIEN!!!
