We already went through the why would anyone buy questions. I answered you. I'm sure its back there somewhere.

The point is that you and I are looking at entirely different things here. We approach this from different perspectives because we want different things out of this stock. It's ok to disagree. As you rightly note, we don't really affect most stocks and hence whatever gamesmanship goes on here is more a matter of micromanaging than impacting. A suppose sometimes a thread such as this can scare off, or hype up, an otherwise undeserving stock, but with the type of volume we have seen in dbcc, we are but a drop in the bucket.

So why then do we do this? It makes us feel better. God knows the posts have largely been the same crap, from both sides, for the past week and no new meaningful information has come out. BTW, the insider selling stuff doesn't do a thing for me. Maybe it would fly if this was at 50, but otherwise it doesn't alter my view.

Tell you what. Let's not post anything, pro or con, tomorrow from any of the regulars and see what happens. DBCC will do whatever it does and the rest of the world will simply have to make its investment decisions without any of our brilliant thoughts. I bet the world will survive, though I might find myself a bit bored.

Jetter,
I know why DBCC went up today. Have you ever heard of a dead cat bounce.
