Ok guys, settle down. This is a million dollar+++ revenue-producing company. The kind of company we all (baby boomers, that is) grew up with...Lassie, Lulu and the Lone Ranger. Millions and millions of books sold through traditional channels. Stock gets beat up (initially because of a few poor quarters -- translate: a million or two less of millions & millions) Who cares? CNBC cares, because they have the power. And who gave it to them? We did. Remember, power is a temporary phenonemon...it flows through any of us at whim -- how it is used is what matters. CNBC blew it. Big time. GBFE wont' sue them. They can't sue them because CNBC's Faber had a pink sheet in front of him that was probably supplied by an insider. Management probably knows more than the insider. The insider is probably an employee in the dark. There will be a clarification and the dust will settle. This company won't disappear overnight. We've enjoyed it for the past 25 years. We grew up with it. It's now trying to make the transition to online sales. They know where it's at. They still have their training wheels on and they're making mistakes along the way. What mistakes? Tolerating inept employees...employees who have been inundated with hundreds of phone calls today...who can blame them? They're nice, but don't have the full story. Translation? Some dimwit thinks because they are honoring the legalities of proper IR and waiting for the Pres to release clarification, they're deemed to be "ignorant" and "avoiding real shareholder concerns".

Come on guys, get a life and give this company a chance. It ain't going down the tube...it's simply the latest victim of the momentum players. Relax already.

cheers to all longs,
NOK

Look up Impristine on the people search and search back through impristine messages. He or she wrote a poem about daytraders that is very good. I put it on the Cramer thread. Worth reading.

I will retrieve it and post here in just a minute

save the day-johns from themselves,
who do these doods think they're foolin,
they created the monster,
they benefit from the monster,
if the monster went away,
they would be pissed,
if they sack the market too bad,
everyone will be poor and the day-johns,
will go away,
and the monster,
would be dead,
it was karma,
it was destiny,
everything happens for a purpose,
and everything happens for a reason,
it's not about these pimp doods,
getting their fees,
it's not about these doods,
getting their bonuses,
these doods tried to kill these day-johns
a while ago,
but the day-johns
were just too powerful,
too concentrated,
to smart,
to pissed off,
they had their strategy scattered,
but it just sort of fell in to place,
it was destiny,
it will only get worse, my friend,
these day-johns,'
may get hurt,
but they
will lick their wounds,
they will think about what has happened,
how they have arrived where they are,
and they will be back,
in full force,
in bigger numbers,
and with more concentrated moohla,
the day-johns,
will play the names,
they will play the vision,
that brought them to the dance,
the dayjohns will be back,
it is about changing the guards,
my friends,
it may take a little time,
but it has starting,
the gauntlet has been thrown,
the after hours trading for the little man,
the moving towards a rapid fire,
ebay auction house,
the move towards a different bidding system,
turn the tables my friend,
heck ,
Nuke the fricken tables,
this is not a zero sum game,
this is about a planned strategy,
that will take some time,
take some thought,
and the day-johns will be back.....
