First let me preface this post with the fact that I do not own any shares. I have been following these posts since about number one hundred. I know someone very close to the co. and I will not disclose any info for obvious reasons. I didn't get in because the mania surrounding internet stocks swept up this one before anyone even knew. Much of what has been put forth was untrue, but usual when there is greed going on. Rumors, false information and speculation that is not founded on anything but in someones head. When this stock was skyrocketing, people were jumping in without even doing any research or asking questions. Like getting sucked into a pyramid scheme, the ones who were unfortunate to buy in at these crazy prices are the real losers. Thats what happens when the main motivation is GREED. So don't jump on the "this must be a conspiracy" bandwagon...the lesson here is greed and fear and all that comes with it. If your in at 35 or 40 and suffered huge loss...blame yourself for blind greed! I learned something too, there are just as many rumors and lies on the way down as there are on the way up. So unless you know something, do everyone a favor and keep it too yourself because you may be the problem, not the company! P.S. This message is not solely intended for you Goldfinger...I hope you know who you are!!! It is not my intention to disrespect anyone but its easy to blame others without looking at ourselves first to ask how we contribute to the issue...A good trader has all his/her emotions under control before getting into a trade...and the last time I checked, greed was an emotion! Good Luck to all, Cliff
