Lakers, It's obvious that you and I both have different investment objectives when it comes to pennies. My agenda is simple. I want a large price spike that will bring some attention to this stock so that I can sell out, take my principal and profit and then re-enter at a lower price. Much like yourself, but I wish to see it happen much faster than what you envision. I don't view BB stocks as investments in the original sense of the word. An investment to me is something I hold onto for more than a year or two, and BB's are far too risky for my liking to hold for any longer than a couple of months. The simple fact is that I have become accustomed to fast movers like KANA, ALFN, MRPS, GSIC etc. Most of them fell afterwards, but I made a buck in the process and that's all I'm here for. Fundamentals mean squat in the OTC IMHO. In fact it's interesting to note that while I studied for my MBA at Harvard, this point was also hammered home consistently by professors and economists who've followed the OTC for many years. Some of these companies have great potential, but their ability to effectively raise profile and capital to expand their operations is a major drawback. Very few on this exchange ever make it to the big times and I don't hold onto a BB stock believing it'll be on the NASDAQ big board with major brokerage house backing anytime soon. This is like the graveyard of the stock market my friend, with the occasional corpse coming back to life. At that point, it's best to make a hard run to gain attention and perhaps give the company the attention it deserves and a fighting chance to gain some legitimacy in the eyes of real "investors." TLWN isn't a garbage stock based all on hype and website openings. It has real products, real revenues and real earnings. If it is to be hyped, it's one of the few on the OTC that deserve it. Best Wishes
