into selling due to a margin call Laszlo-- Are you kicking yourself for selling at a profit? I wouldn't do that if I had done the same...sounds to me like you got between a double and a triple, and the market smiles at such good fortune. I know a fellow that I am been chatting with for months now...I told him my hopes for the company, what I saw for its future, and why I wasn't afraid with the stock at 15&#162. He had been following the company for longer than I have, but had also sold due to a margin call. This fellow acquired over 70,000 shares at between 15&#162 and 20&#162....I can see you all salivating already. Relax. They're all gone. It was physically impossible for him to hold a SINGLE share when he saw HTSF run up to .75/.90. He said it was killing him to see the money in the account, so he sold. The last shares went at 1 3/4. He's out, his shares in other hands. Point is, this fellow made as much money in five weeks as I clear in a year of busting my butt at work...should he be sorry he sold? I think not. But he did buy other stocks with the money. That I will never understand. Nobody's going to ding you for selling, Laszlo...making money is the name of the game, glad you made some with HTSF. Cheers! Rick

Don't ever feel bad taking a profit. Stocks go up and down, and timing a stock is the key factor to profit. We've all sold too early, and too late, and sometimes at the perfect time. I try to learn from each experience, but never look back with regrets. I first bought HTSF two years ago for $1 and sold at.50 for a loss because I was scraping for tax losses. I bought again at .33, and now feel my overall strategy was fairly accurate. Will I take a profit? Sure, but when,(and taxes) will be the big question. Probably not any time soon as my 2000 shares (Tom, for your tabulation) were out of my penny stock gambling fun fund, which I don't rely on for much. I love watching Ben build the company and its investment image so I want to retain a reason to keep interested and if I can make a few bucks all the better. Aplogies Ben! We better stop referring to HTSF as a penny stock!!! Rap
