Joe I appreciate your enthusiasm and optimistic views. However I find that sheer enthusiasm, alone cannot increase the value a stock. I would visit this thread more often if further due diligence was reported. I don't mean to convey a negative message, but rather than creating excitement through providing quick news and rumors, time spent on uncovering further information would garner the intended result. Good news and bad news are equal factors in determining the value of a company. In most cases bad news is more apt to grant further insight into management's ability to solve problems. Remember in a strong wind even turkeys can fly. Allow me to admit I can fall into the wake of enthusiasm as quickly as any investor and have a portfolio of non performers to prove. I have spent the past 10 years providing financing for start ups and structuring companies to make the transistion from the private status to publicly traded, fully reporting status. Again I do not wish to alienate any fellow traders, but a word of caution may temper the enthuisiasm for a greater winning strategy. Thanx for listening,may you never find yourself looking down from the top trade,been there and hate it.
