Betty: I like this format better if you are going to rave than take it back. I am like you I invest in stocks that I do not want to go up immediately (aka JMAR). [Just some random ravings . . . never mind.] Excellent article, Stick -- but remember . . . We don't want to read articles explaining why the stock isn't moving. We just want to blame management -- because that's the easy thing to do. Never mind that some of us shouldn't be investing in stocks like this in the first place (because they are too speculative). When we DO invest, we want the stock to go UP -- NOW!!! If it doesn't, it's certainly not because of market conditions. That seems to be the mentality here, at least . . .

It hardly matters why a stock does not move. What matters is the fact that it has not made progress for investor who bought and held, and the rest of the market has made good progress from three years ago. I (fortunately) sold half my position when we dropped below four and the rest when we retreated below three. What is the point of holding a losing investment? (I bought at 2 and a half way back when.) A five percent money market account would have given better returns. Future of JMAR? It waits to be seen.... If company can make money and grow, eventually investors will have something here. But they could have had more somewhere else, and simply watched this one till the time was right. Naturally hindsight is 20-20 ed
