Re: >>canon fodder for the pros<<

I think we got a taste of this the end of last week. I may be wrong but it looked like a concerted effort by the hedgehogs etc. trying to squeeze cash out of small retail.

The game has always been thus. The pros are probably licking their chops at the latest online investing craze. They will just have to remember (as the casinos do) that you can't always fleece the little guy or he/she will take their ball and go home. With so many sharks in the water it'll be interesting to see what happens.

Well enough metaphors. I'm out of ONSL but I came within a gnat's rear of picking some up Friday morning. The pros can be beat but it's sort of like flying blind. Whoops, another one slipped out<g>

Gil,
I note from your profile that you are basically a short seller...You appear to be using the old "Get out while you still can" routine...You could be right about your calling ONSL a story stock...You could also be dead wrong....It is literally impossible to stereotype a stock with any degree of accuracy, especially this type of stock...Internet stocks have a way of making "Gurus" look foolish, because they are so unpredictable....
