stitch, I used a contact in Japan. The source was a newspaper article in a Japanese newspaper. this info was missing from your first post. ... and even now, there just might be more than 1 newspaper in Japan. What newspaper, what date, what page? or even better... A URL would do wonders to help establish credibility. Especially on a first post to this thread in the last several months if not ever. And your profile provides very little information. All signs of hypesters. Obviously, you have several fans who trust you. I didn't; and given the same circumstances, I'd question the validity of the information again. Just because somebody feels like posting something doesn't force every reader to take it as gospel. And if you expect that, may I suggest you eat your own words. Stitch, ...get off the net and go get a life. You ever consider thinking before leaping?

Stitch, <<I am not sure why I deserve your insulting innuendo. I used a contact in Japan. The source was a newspaper article in a Japanese newspaper. I posted to contribute and there was absolutely no tone of rebuke in what I wrote unlike your typical miscreant post. Ian...get off the net and go get a life. You ever consider thinking before leaping?>> Your supporters have given you some credibility and you probably deserve it. I think we should all remember that most of us are here to learn and get good info to make decisions with. Since you do not post here regularly you should not be surprised that regular threaders (and anybody else who is a serious investor) would want you to name your sources at least in a general way, which you have failed to do. I know Ian and can vouch for his credibility as your friends have for you. The difference is no one needs to vouch for Ian's credibility because he names his sources and does not expect anyone to just believe him because he is knowledgeable. Anyone who is arrogant enough to sidestep this common courtesy deserves to have their butt kicked around, which, unfortunately but justly has been has been your reward. As ever, D
