Hi everyone:"I'm making note of this irony now so as to remember this time after things take off. Then there will be excitement and great reactions, but strangely I will value this waiting period and want to remember it when it can be so easily forgotten." Very well put, James. Once the excitement comes when the world begins to take notice of PNLK, this thread will not be the same anymore. More people will be involved. Many new posters will come abroad with many different agendas and motives. Remember, once PNLK is enlisted in Nasdaq's board (knock on wood here… <knock, knock>) and the price is over $5.00, this stock will become eligible for "shorting" in the US. Simply because the stake is much higher for a lot more people, there will be all kind of battles going on. A lot of the regulars here, including me, will probably don't have the stomach or desire for such continuing war game. By then, if the fundamental is continuing to be good, my best plan will be to forget about the thread and check on the stock price once-a-week to see what's going on. But the most important thing we still have to do is to watch the fundamental. Pay close attention to the quarterly SEC filings. Dissect the PRs to learn the implication of the news. These will be the only things that matter once PNLK breaks through the OTC-BB battlefield and join the big boys with some strong revenue numbers. Why don't we need to check the thread anymore? For one, most of us who bought at this low price will already be deep in the money. When shares are trading around $20+ and the battles are causing the range to roller-coast between $15-$30 or higher, what do we care? If we want to ride this thing to stratosphere, we will have to watch the fundamental and not what the new posters are trying to do when they jumped in at a much higher price than we did. Those who jumped in at a much higher price in the Nasdaq's battlefield have a lot more to lose than we do here. I, personally, will not get involved with such battle. By then, I probably will have sold a few shares to cover my cost and my entertainment expenses. The rest I will just ride it out as long as the fundamental supports it. Whoa! Am I jumping ahead of myself here??? I guess so… but I bet a lot of you out there feel the same way… eh? I like to thank everyone who finds my posts comforting and agreeable. When I write, I do not write with the purpose to please. What I contributed to the thread was based on how I personally felt at the moment. The only reason why my posts were agreeable was because you felt the same way! Moreover, not only do we think and feel the same way, we actually do something about it by buying and holding the stock through thick and thin. There was no magic on my posts, just some opinions that happened to be shared by many of you. Sometimes I rebutted others because I felt the other side of the coin had not been fairly presented. I always believe in looking at both sides of the coin . I believe my posts only served as a reminder to us why we bought this stock to begin with. Despite being agreeable to some, I still believe that everyone should look out for your ownself. To Each His Own is my way to remind everyone of this fact. It is always very easy to become so engrossed in the content of the thread that we forget our individual self. When that happens, we become just another sheep following the herd… Glenn made a good point when he said "Please do your own due diligence as to our company and use caution when reading posts from unknown individuals." Again, as I have said before, in order for you to feel comfortable and have conviction in your investment, you MUST do your own due diligence to earn it. If you don't do your own DD but simply listen to other posters' opinion to feel your way, you will not be able to stand firmly on your foundation when the turbulence appears… and the turbulence is always part of the stock market! Therefore, conviction is your only ally to avoid being stopped out in the OTC-BB battlefield. Now, this is my and my opinion only , if I don't have the conviction on any OTC-BB stock, I WILL NOT buy the stock, period. And if I have the conviction to buy any OTC-BB stock, I WILL NOT use stop. IMHO, there just isn't enough liquidity and volume in the OTC-BB market to make using stop an effective tool. Therefore, I am prepared to lose most of my money when I speculate in the long-term potential of any OTC-BB stock. And because of this, I will NEVER put 95% of my speculative money in any one OTC-BB stock no matter how tempting it is. Well, I hope I am not offending anyone here today with my mumbo jumbo about trading style and opinion. Like I said earlier, I am writing what I am feeling at the moment… I guess you should all know by now, all of the above is my opinion only. Remember everyone, To Each His Own And Prosperity to ALL! btw: today "non-news" PR is, IMHO, just a prelude to something else that may come our way…. wonder what it is…
