Good day to you John. That is the whole point, just what does long term mean to any individual investor. For me I have many different time frames that I use for the stocks I own. As I have said before I have a few stocks that have been in my portfolio for over ten years. I can count on one hand the stocks I have every traded within a twenty-four hour time frame. For me each stock warrants its own time line based on my expectations for it. Won't it be nice if each one of use could always by a stock and have it double right away, then sell ½ of the shares to recapture our investment and be able to hold the rest without risk. Sorry to say it just doesn't happen that way for me. As for FNTN there are many investors out there who have 800%, 700%, 500%, 200% and 100% so far based on when they got in. For them I am extremely happy. Then there are those who are invested about the current market value and waiting for FNTN to continue to climb. For those investors and in my opinion, their time will come. So the questions you as of Tom are excellent but must be answered by each individual investor based solely on their needs and expectations. Best regards, Bill Fortune III

John, Your are right. There is no real definition of long term. Personally when I'm long term it means 5 years or more but each investment is evaluated once a year so I may not hold for 5 years. I also fall into the bad habit of watching the ticker on my stocks so maybe I owe Bill an apology. I have no problem with day traders or week and month traders as long as they don't try to make me think they are something else. Heck, I do not even have a problem with short sellers, as long as people are open and honest about why they are here. Ok, Ok, your right I'm here to annoy people. I'm not short, I almost took a position at .65, damn. It would've been a good MO play. Bye for now. Tom
