Boy were we dumb! Hey, how many times have you made money off pump and dumpers? I know I have. I'm not going to lose any sleep over giving a little back...it sucks, but it happens. ...and as far as long term hold, well, think of it as maintaining a position so you don't have to watch the stock every second, you know, an investment? But I do feel like an ass just the same for buying some of my shares at 1 7/16ths. --mike

DablocTrader, I just couldnt endure the pain of watching this one turn into a penny stock, which is exactly what she did today. The "news" did nothing but invite daytraders, ofwhich I am one. I bought in at the open, thinking..."man this has to be huge news with Bayer involved. She should gap up at the open, then once news is disseminated, we'd rock." Boy was I wrong. Looking back on it now, it was a pure momo job...all momentum. The majority had this stock in the .50's and I should have known 1 7/8 would be a definite take out target. I wasnt thinking and didnt do enough DD on this one. I believed "the hype", and normally I dont fall into that sort of trap. I wish you all luck here. I just dont see her getting anywhere near 1 7/8 again any time soon....ANY TIME SOON. The development of GGF2, in all likelyhood will take a very long time. Whenever I see the words: "Collaborate in the Development of", bells and whistles will forever go off in my head, for those words mean many many moons away from the thing that makes stocks fly..profits. Really...the best of luck to all of you. No flames ok?...I dont know all the facts of this one..just know it was a foolish play on my part..one that will never be repeated. Steve
