I bought ITOY when it was first mentioned some weeks back at 1 1/4 - been waiting for it to come back. Should have averaged down, but when uncertain .. rather wait. It moved too fast to take advantage of it today.

Bought GOCA at 2 5/8 - hoping it moves.
Have IMOT at 2 1/2 ... not sure what to do. Any thoughts?

KL, nice ITOY news....looks like Chris Edwards of SFLK fame is taking over the PR; will verify for sure; also CEO has great contacts. We won't know how big this news is until we do more DD.

Gotta leave for rest of day though.

Will interview YARC CEO later today or in the AM

take care,
DAVE
