Well, here's my battle sword... I am a good sport. The shorts played this game so well it wasn't even funny. They moved in like the Spartans of Greece. They just wiped the surface clean. They were extremely good. Let's face it. There was a lot of positive surrounding this stock, but when the insider comes out and resigns, without FULLY stating why, new investors can't help but turn away. Congrats to those who shorted. I'm not going to get on here whining about my losses. Granted, I lost a few thousand. But that is the game, you win some you lose some. This is definitely my biggest hit to date, but then again I haven't sold yet. I truly did not think that the CFO would have that much of an impact, but then again, the flood of potential buyers that WOULD have got in, were turned off by him. Now whether, one of these shorters was THE CFO and he helped them out on this one, we will probably never know. There is always a great possibilty for that. This baby was just played so perfectly today, I am almost laughing at myself. But! The fact is that they are on the internet now. That in my opinion is a major step for PRFM. I did not sell my shares, because I think there is much more left to this game. The shorts may have won the first battle, but the war is not over. I would just hope that the shorts would let us win one now. I think we have all gained a true respect for what the shorts can do to a stock. They do have a lot of power, which I did not realize. The way I figure it, is that I am learning my lessons young and losing only a few thousand learning, instead of millions. Once again, I am still LONG on this stock. Inets suffer just like the rest of the stocks out there. The problem was that the CFO wanted to literally crush this company. No doubt about it. And he knew exactly when to play it to make it happen. He WAS an insider. We are past that thorn in our flesh from now on. Forget the guy. Now, I still think the possiblity is out there that he could have helped these shorts out. They seemed to be very shady and acted liked they knew something we didn't. They did, apparently. To all those that still held, I am in there with ya! Matt Tommorow could be interesting. I might try to call the CEO tonight.

A few more thoughts for the day, As you could tell on the thread, MANY were very shaky about their holdings. The shorts once again did their magic in freaking everyone out. I was not freaked out personally. Because I know there is always another play out there if this one fails, which at these levels, I see nowhere but up. Secondly, theres was so much tension building up and triggers ready to fire, that it was like a "edge of your seat" movie. There was so much smoke around this stock building up and so many posts on the thread, it was hard to make heads or tails. I think after the smoke has cleared and the storm waters have calmed, PRFM investors will see the light, and we will see a surge of investors that just didn't want to touch it "then" but do "now." Best Regards, Matt P.S. I think, now, that it would have been better not to hold this over the weekend. Oh yea, and about the website. It is phenomenal in my opinion. My mom has already ordered something from them..Chanel something or other. I told her to compare to other sites and she like PRFM.com better. PSS Don't forget all of those other domain names that are registered. None of them are up yet I think. They will announce that and become one of the first Inets to go truly global with hubs in many foreign countries. Not for the short-termer.

My Favorite Part of Today!!! Now the thread will calm down! Everyone will be rational. The stock will more likely see a STEADY rise in stock price rather than a sudden then fall back. I see that as much better and much better on my keyboard and blood presssure!! LOL Let's have some fun you guys! Matt P.S. Relax!! God looks after those who do right in his sight. You only live once, enjoy it. Someone doubted that I had the money to buy this stock. Just to let you know, I have been working since I was 12 for my dad. Plus I have been investing since I was 11. Now do you beleive me?
