"Pure, unadulterated, finger-in-the-throat-gagging" here we have it folks. Donkey-com just showed how a short tries to instill fear, by slamming a stock after a nice run like today. Well, you are a knuckle dragging monkey (Donkey-com)if you think you can scare these handful of longs. Please keep your finger out of your hole on this thread. GAME OVER!

it is just so easy to pick someone's words apart. your thoughts are usually pretty thoughtful, did you get caught short? most of us on this board knew there would be volatility with this stock, i am sure there is more to come, probably at higher levels. shorts may have one more chance to get out, i would suggest the nail in the shorts coffin will happen sooner rather than latter.

Great! Where did you learn to write. With your imagination and verve, you should go to Hollywood. Hollywood is in need of good writers with imagination and verve.

Just once I'd like to see one of these little wannabes actually prove they can ride a horse, take a hill, and shoot somebody BEFORE they change their name to John Wayne. I agree that adding a .com to the end of a company's name changes absolutely nothing, fundamentally, about the company. But I disagree with you that USAB has done nothing substantive to become an internet bank. They are selling CD's online, which is a tangible, revenue-enhancing, step. And more importantly, their CD Auction is an original idea that USAB has delivered on as promised. The auctions are apparently going well, since the rates usually seem to approach prevailing market rates toward the close of each auction. I think until USAB allows online account access, they are not really an online bank. But nothing USAB has done so far suggests they will fail to offer online banking in the third quarter. USAB still has a market cap lower than it did in mid 98, so I think it's difficult to argue that USAB is pumped up right now. If it were worth $250 Million and still didn't have online account access, then I would agree that it is riding mostly on hype, but it's not. If you want to discuss hyped-up stocks, then talk about NetBank, which has a market cap of $1.6B and hopes to have 50,000 accounts by year end. That's a hype job. Good luck. Kevin

Pure, unadulterated, finger-in-the-throat-gagging hype. Don, your post was amusing reading this morning. Ironic too, as you're the one doing the hyping, negative hyping. Are you still bitter about not getting to single digits after last Wednesday? Psychologists call that the denial stage. Next comes anger. Previous support at 13.50 is now overhead resistance. Come on arm-chair dude, don't sit there and try to tell me that these guys aren't taking the steps to become the leader. Appreciation doesn't happen overnight man, but it'll happen. We welcome all opinions here, but be careful ... you're living in a glass house. -VeloSpeed
