Still have about a little of my $2.17 shares left and also some $6.60 shares that I hope to see green in. But since I am going on vacation, I just wanted the cash.
Looks like a nice close.

What the heck happenned with you over at RB? So many people misunderstanding your motives. I understand exactly what you were saying about this b l o g s p o t report. I didn't take it as being a basher.
I think you will end up being correct and it will dip more because of that b l o g, But longs shouldn't be worried about it.
I still have to decide if I want to "rebuy" some more of the shares that I sold before vacation. Looking for a good entry point.

That site is full of ostriches... they only see what they want to see. Screw them.
I am already right... if it dips below $6, which I doubt, I will buy more. But we will get bought out soon... the writing is on the wall. $20 would have been nice long term, but I'm guessing $10 with a buyout.

C'mon Jo, you're letting FREE money slip through your fingers. Sure things like this don't come around very often. We are going to be bought out soon enough, and then, this money making ride will be over.
