If they find out they can play from their Trailers - $1000 gets you a good computer. They might just go without smokes for a week. I have thought the same thing about the general demographics of the DIO target market. What a finish to 4.07 with the bid eveb higher on close

Hi Stephen ... you posted that... Bingo is generally played by the underclasses, those of lower IQ and wealth. They go out for the social aspect of meeting others and to be able to smoke together in public. These are the least likely of people to have a computer, to know how to turn it on. And people want to "INVEST" in Dion. I wonder any other of low-class, low-IQ and poor people (like me) should be offended by this comment, although I respect your right to voice your opinion, your thoughts and your comments. I wish I had more time to socialize, but unfortunately I do not. I do however, yearn for the times I am able to just go out and have a little fun with my friends and socialize. I am able to find a lot of valuable sources of information on the internet; I read and evaluate many of the opinions and comments by people on chat-threads like SI; I search for news and other sources to read about fact and fiction; I pay all my bills and do banking online; and I web-trade through my computer. I can't do that everytime I sit at my computer though, else I would literally go nuts. I DO play internet bingo and other online games and I'm not ashamed to admit that. I work hard enough "AT-WORK" and am personally trying to get out of the RUT of coming home and working on the computer again. I dropped the "1990-way" of thinking that every house will someday have a computer. I now believe in the "Y2000-way" that every house will be connected to the internet regardless of whether they have a computer or not. This being with cable TV, wireless satellite equipment, and your phone. As for an investment in DIO, is everybody an idiot? Sure, there maybe a lot of people are investing in DIO (IMO) on speculation of higher share value, and just following the OTHER GROUP of low-class and low-IQ people you generally categorized DIO investors to be. I myself did that with v.ipz on a whim at 32cent just because of the sheer volume of activity it was getting. Based on the many recent news, it is hard to picture what is suddenly making this stock so popular. How many private placements, new issues, warrants or options have been granted, and other equity financing deals have we seen with DIO that has diluted the stock to cover Hi-Tech research and development and/or i.e. major speculatory drilling costs? I can't remember of any recent off hand, and the www.dion-bingo.com seems to be unaccessable this morning. For the most part, bingo is a cash business. The multiplier isn't how many shares you own, or how you can "milk this baby" today or tomorrow... the multiplier is the number of people that play bingo and gamble online worldwide on the internet that will make the company money and its investors in the long run. I am long again on DIO (not in quantity as I once was, sadly) but, I do not think I am an idiot and believe my investment decision was sound. But, these are just my thoughts. Take care and Happy Good Friday everybody. HART
