David, You've made some good points and I don't deny that on occasion these BB boards can and do affect share prices in micro-cap stocks. That much we agree upon. The simple fact remains however that none of us out here can govern content or whether certain people post about and invest in this stock. That is beyond our control, and the best we can hope for is that the average "investor" will see for themself what kind of potential AQCI has based on its own merits. Some may get scared away by pumpers and dumpers, but you can't really expect much else with a stock that has enjoyed this much attention and volume in the past few days. It just goes with the territory and I ain't taking sides. I am here because I believe in this stock and its future and I see valuations going way beyond or buck or two in the very near future. Some may settle for a measly 25% or 50% gain, but I think our job out here is to help inform the newcomers that just because a couple bail at a certain price, it doesn't mean the stock is dead or that its future is limited. My hope is that while some will sell, many others will buy because they will see the bigger picture. That's what investing is all about, and some of the most successful stocks I have been invested in have had their fair share of pumpers and dumpers, innate hype and jerking around. At the end of the day, most did well while those that failed did so primarily because management failed to execute. So, having said all that, AQCI may have some wild gyrations yet to come, but at the end of the day, I am confident the stock will realize its proper valuation and we can look back on all this bantering and have a good laugh. I guess you might call it "growing pains," and nearly every stock must endure such.
