What, you don't think people can read? Click on your name and go back through your posts and then tell me what kind of impression you create! Think about this -- you just had a close encounter with the SEC, you are involved in sensitive negotiations in a cutthroat industry, you are tasked with restoring confidence in the company and stock. If this were your company, would you want to be associated with an Internet chat forum such as SI or Raging Bull? Do fora like this make a company look good, or do they feed perceptions of manipulation, chicanery, etc.? My guess is that almost every legitimate small cap company views these fora as a collective mill stone around their necks. No matter how hard they strive to climb out of the small cap soup, there are always people waiting to push them back in, whether it is blatant black-hearted tripe like the anonymous BunE's of the world, or the well-meaning (?) -- and anonymous -- black bile who constantly wring their hands in public. Either way, it is a no-win situation for the company. Me thinks that the "old boys" don't post any more because they have come to recognize the futility of playing in this game. It is not zero-sum. It is no-win. Accordingly, my guess is that they have chosen not to post here anymore because doing so only gives life to such fora, and to those who feed on them. Finally, re reflecting on one's investment, you suggested that it's time for people to consider getting out. I simply asked why you are not following your own advice? K
