Stocks go up and stocks go down. What a shock. Should we alert the media?

You are correct about the cost basis but wrong about the 2 months part. A single buyer who bout 2 months ago is way up. techstocks.com

Marketbrief--Well, if you want to characterize your previous posts as to simply be one of interest "to see how patient [the longs] will be, especially if the price falls another 25% from here," I don't find that particularly accurate. You posted the following: "With all the desperate attempts to prop it up through press releases and recommendations from third tier shills, seeing $35 seems a safe bet." That was obviously refuted by the lengthy post from IW listing the following outfits which have recommended EGRP: "Here are the list that follows EGRP, can you kindly point out which one is first, second, third or junk tier shills? Your co-operation is very much appreciated. Scott Appleby, ABN-AMRO Chicago Corporation Keith Benjamin, BancBoston Robertson Stephens & Co. Linda Chew, Corinthian Partners Bill Burnham, Credit Suisse First Boston James Marks, Deutsche Bank Securities, Inc. Jamie Kiggen, Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette Rakesh Sood, Goldman Sachs and Co. Genni Combes, Hambrecht & Quist Steve Franco, Piper Jaffray Gregory Smith, Putnam, Lovell & Thorton, Inc. Phillip Leigh, Raymond James & Associates Derek Brown, Volpe Brown Wheelan & Co. Michael G. Chung, The Williams Capital Group, L.P. Steve Weinstein, Pacific Crest Securities You didn't bother to answer him, amazingly enough, nor state how E*Trade was somehow able to persuade the "third-tier shills" to give them favorable recommendations. Then, when Frederick Langford made the following post: "I had this company @20 pre-splits and thought I was a genius when I sold @30 <NOT> Then I made 5 more measly points shorting from 35 to 30. A total of 15 points, being a trader. The people who held made out like bandits." you completely disingenuously noted: "Anyone who established a position in the last two months is now underwater, certainly not "making out like a bandit." Please. Everyone knows that the stock has lost ground in the last two months, and it was extremely obvious to anyone who gave more than a cursory reading to Frederick's post that he wasn't implying differently. Your characterizing his post as being what it clearly wasn't, and then trying to characterize your own previous posts as merely being "interested to see how patient [the longs] will be, especially if the price falls another 25% from here," is truly incredible. I've got absolutely nothing against shorts--that the way the process works, and I welcome them to come to this thread to make the case against EGRP because I can learn from them, but I for one don't welcome folks to come here and mischaracterize either their own posts or the posts of others, and I don't think folks will take your efforts here very seriously if that's the way you want to play this game...
