Promotion does not work in a sustaining manner.

I couldn't agree with you more. Pure promotion is bound to fail in the long term and some people will invariably be left holding the the bag.

However, "Yorkton deals" have considerably gotten better over the years: AAH from $0.65 to $4.50, BII from $1.75 to $32.00, V from $11.50 to $25.00, SOJ from $0.02 to $1.10 and GTR from $0.90 to $4.80. They also have recently lead the $100 million MDS financing. I got burnt on some of their deals in the past but they seem to have bounced back nicely and they have made me a lot of money recently.

It is not unusual for investors to write off a broker after a few bad ones, only to see that broker hit a few home runs later.

I believe GTR is for real. Real business, real management, real potential. Will it ever catch the Internet fever? I sure hope so.

Good to hear from you.

P.S. Nice move on the KCA recently.
