how low was this stock when you first started pointing out it's faults? $2.00, $3.00? when it hit $9.90 how did you feel about that? even if this piece of crap goes to 0, you're still going to look like an idiot to me - not because you knocked it, but because you KEEP knocking it. do you realize even if you changed your original opinion up to $3.00 after your spidey sense started tingling, you still could have doubled your money? please keep in mind that i'm not hyping this stock, cause i personally think it's bunch of crap that's years away from seeing any kind of revenues that justify it's current share price. it just bugs me when a man can't admit that he's wrong (expensively wrong in this case). when there is liquidity like this anyone can make money buying or shorting, that's all there is too it. (of course, you'd have to pry yourself away from this chatline for five minutes to execute a trade or two). deepest sympathy, p.

Dear Dougie, a little Due Diligence on your part would help your credibility. It seems that in your haste to WARN the poor uninformed investors about the dangers of investing in BII (whose stock by the way went up over 300% since you started your crusade) you overlooked the following: This patent is directed at BUYERS automatically soliciting SELLERS for a product or service from a multiplicity of prospective vendors. This is similar to a buyer posting a request for car dealers bid on his specifications. ABSTRACT The present invention is a method and apparatus for effectuating bilateral buyer-driven commerce. The present invention allows prospective buyers of goods and services to communicate a binding purchase offer globally to potential sellers, for sellers conveniently to search for relevant buyer purchase offers, and for sellers potentially to bind a buyer to a contract based on the buyer's purchase offer. In a preferred embodiment, the apparatus of the present invention includes a controller which receives binding purchase offers from prospective buyers. The controller makes purchase offers available globally to potential sellers. Potential sellers then have the option to accept a purchase offer and thus bind the corresponding buyer to a contract. The method and apparatus of the present invention have applications on the Internet as well as conventional communications systems such as voice telephony. Assignee 4,247,759 Jan. 1981 Self-service passenger ticketing system - Yuris et al. Fortunately, when Dougie speaks, NOBODY listens! PS Dougie, I believe that if you go over it will give you a much better perspective!
