Can't wait for Monday's bell. Helene, this is bad. Your gambling blood is killing you. I used to loose sleep several times when the stock was anticipating a run up. The exciting of a surprise has always win over my heart. But since I've following this stock and have learn a great deal of Being Patience from Mr. Patience, the reward has paid off tremendously. I could be able to go the bed early, and knowing that this stock is going to do good on its own. Good luck my dear. And I totally agree with the thread about how to fight the bashers. Fighting them with factuals and that will help us in both way: Defending our baby while showing the lurker the real prospect of the stock. Names calling and yelling across the room will just bring us to their levels and give them what they original reason for coming over here for. Especially those bashers are the one who have shorted the stock and trying to loose up our shares to cover for their profit. Please don't fall for that trap. Remember, Bashers come in under many types. Please refers to How to short a stock message. Happy Investing, Johnny

So far I don't see any bashers here, but since you folks got on this subject I would like to make sure you study this (test will follow <G>): Given what I see it's time for a reposting of Message boards Guidelines used by shorters: 1. Be anonymous, of course. 2. Use 10% fact and 90% suggestion in one's posts. Facts give credibility, while suggestion does the "sell". 3. Let others "help" you learn about a stock thereby developing rapport and a support base. 4. Use multiple handles, but develop a unique style for each. 5. Use multiple ISPs. 6. Start each new handle slowly to build acceptance. 7. Occasionally, use two handles to "discuss" an issue. 8. Do not show all your cards at once when slamming a stock. It's a war - it's ok to lose a battle as long as you save enough ammo to win the war. 9. Know your enemies - they will end up being your best weapons. 10.Only slam until the tide starts to turn. Let doubt carry the stock back with the tide. 11.Maintain an appearance of being open minded but a slant in either direction is acceptable. 12.Don't appear meek. No one follows the meek. 13.Strike just as your opponent starts to gather momentum but not before or you lose your sting. 14.Don't worry if people peg you for a slammer. The doubt will remain and that's what you are after. 15.If pegged, put up a brief fight, then let them feel they've won. This puts their guard down within a few days and your other handles can take over from there. 16.When slamming a stock, the intent is to minimize its rise, not to create an instant plunge. 17.To slam a stock requires you only to kill the dream not the company. 18.Use questions to invoke critical thinking and use statements to reinforce. 19.You can be liberal in your questions but be specific and precise in your statements. 20.Don't lie. 21.When slamming, encourage research beyond calling the company.You know people are far too lazy and it's only doubt you are after, not confirmation. 22.When slamming, discourage people from taking the company's word - encourage them to seek outside proof. If the company's history is bad, point them there. 23.When slamming, refer to missed deadlines and weak financials. 24.When slamming, if the price rises, blame it on a temporary mass reaction to a press release rather than real interest in the stock. Point out low volume and emphasize the selling. 25.Pretend to share the same concerns by learning what they want to hear. 26.And above all else, be unpredictable. ------- Anybody recognize these tactics? ;-)
