Nobody ran you off this board -- yesterday's comments were made in fun and in camaraderie -- and nobody ran you of the kitchen board either. Sheesh -- you're very thin-skinned.
I'm not looking for a kerfuffle with you swamps because, like I said, I think you're a good picker and you posts are both pleasant and in the spirit of community sharing, but I just can't help but feel that you have come to dominate this board with way too many details about your picks, rendering it a little bit one-sided, almost as if it has become the swampboots thread rather than the microcap kitchen thread it was originally set up to be, sort of as a supplement to the kitchen thread on SI. You are correct that too many posts by too many people -- myself included -- don't really give all that much dd and just point to a stock that someone likes or that might be moving, but that is often enough to pique someone's interest enough for them to do their own investigation. If you were to set up a thread like 10-bagger has in which he daily posts all his buys and sells, I know that I would probably check it out as I check out his because I respect his trading action too, but the kitchen thread was originally set up as a place to follow in a little more detail some of Gary's picks on SI and I believe that is what most of the people who drop by here are expecting.
Also, we don't need to prove to each other that we really bought as low as we said as and sold as high as we said. A litle bit of boasting is inevitable, but we don't need to get into the kind of pissing contests that prevail on the "value micrcap" threads. Look at the personality conflicts that rage on those threads.
Again, I don't mean any hard feeling against you or intend to discourage your enthusiasm for trading and sharing your ideas, but I just feel that the MicroCap kitchen thread should keep its focus on the SI Kitchen stocks, including picks by other followers of that thread but not so dominated by just one guy's trades. I hope you understand and begrudge me no hard feelings for stating this.
Thanks . . .

I'm setting up a whole new spreadsheet on Excel to keep track of your trades (including order numbers), Swamp, because I don't ever want to forget any of what you do. I'm sure I'm not the only one here who finds your each and every trade utterly fascinating.
Sorry for the sarcasm, swamp, I like that you post your picks, but really, you share with us a little more than we actually need to know.
And how exactly are we to know that you are NOT one of them, Mr. Boots?
Are we to understand that you are trying to sell some mkrs for under .35?
I will have to ask that in the future you refrain from reading any of underwater's posts again, Sir.
Our new friend underwater just laid out big.
THIRTY-FIVE! Thank you underwater!
And I'm going to add more MKRS as soon as DFNS hits a buck.
I was thinking my new best friend underwater would want the privilege.
That's quite a spread!
Glad to see you on this one Hank; I'm with you here.

Gary has begun coverage on ECOS over in the SI Kitchen.
I took a small position when he first mentioned it a few days ago and have added more today. Another carbon play, in Asia.

A highly regarded 'picker' over on SI named Gary P Grobbel has recently begun touting (in his very unhyperbolic manner) this stock, so I think observers here might begainto see a pick up in activity.

Patent number 7,527,971 entitled, "Generation and Differentiation of Adult Stem
Cells."
The patent provides protection to a specific cell line derived from human
pancreatic tissues that gives rise to structures comparable to the Islets of
Langerhans (beta islets). These islets also synthesize and secrete insulin in
response to elevated glucose levels, as do beta islets contained within
pancreatic tissue. Vitro has also developed a process for the commercial
production its cell line-derived islets. Furthermore, the Company previously
obtained regulatory approval for an animal protocol to determine reversal of
Type I diabetes, a critical step in the demonstration of efficacy. Thus, the
recently issued patent affords an exclusive proprietary position to the Company
for a new cellular therapy to treat Type I diabetes.
Dr. Jim Musick, Vitro's President and CEO said, "We are pleased to announce
the issuance of our new patent from the USPTO. We intend to develop our
patented technology into a viable therapy for Type I diabetes. Our issued
United States patents now include production of FSH, a fertility drug, methods
and compositions for production of immortalized human cells, and adult stem
cells. We also own patent-pending technology for stem cell therapy of cancer.
Our patent portfolio complements our recently launched, "Tools for Stem Cell
and Drug Development(tm)," a series of commercially available products for use
in stem cell research targeting human mesenchymal stem cells, induced
pluripotent stem cells and stem cell-based cancer research. Our business plan
includes commercialization and expansion of our recently launched products to
support stem cell research and drug development while we also pursue
development of stem cell-based therapies for diabetes and cancer, chronic
conditions with enormous costs to patients, society and global health care
systems."
About Vitro Diagnostics, Inc.
Vitro Diagnostics, Inc. dba Vitro Biopharma (OTCBB: VODG)
(http://www.vitrobiopharma.com) is committed to "Harnessing the Power of
Cells." Vitro owns US patents for production of the fertility drug, FSH,

Sorry I didn't thank you for posting the reply you received, water -- that was very nice of you -- but I'm not sorry that I found no value in Holly Yoder's expression of appreciation of our continued interest in Mikros and her promise to "do our best to keep you informed through our website and press releases," because so far their best sucks.
ksuave
Mikros placed updates on their website in February, "Spring", April, June, August and September of 2008, but not a single one since.
http://www.mikros.us/whatsnew.htm
Press releases have hardly been any more forthcoming.
If we want updates we'll have to continue relying on the sleuths on this board finding obscure references on military lists, and so far those have not amounted to any money in my bank.
Holly's note means nada.
My engines were started so long ago that I'm almost out of gas, and I'm getting 0 miles to the gallon.
Now if only some hard-core top would come and test his commitment.
" . . . arm chair, chicken hawks who have never served . . ." a perfect description of the Bush administration.
The Abu Ghraib abusers are not in jail, the Abu Ghraib fall guys are. Meanwhile, Cheney, Rumsfield, Gonzalez, Bush and Rice -- the people who perverted American law and who ordered the hapless souls who are suffering for their crimes -- are walking around free, charging hefty fees for their characterizations of of respectable folk.
I don't bother with all questions posed to me by all posters and that would include those posed by you. I don't see that you're deserving of anything other than mockery.
That's just the beginning, rat. You will soon have your government mandated sexual orientation reassignment orders sent to you. Better start those stretching exercises now, girlfriend.
It's been proven that tactics of pain and humiliation, including sexual degradation, were approved by Rummy and Cheney, and Cheney stated that Bush was present.
Putting 'jmo' after lying drivel does not justify straight out lies.
Blaming Abr Graib on a few rogue soldiers is so typical of the complete moral failure of the neo-cons. Those guys are cowards and you -- as I've stated before -- are not worth engaging because you will say anything in defense of an ideology that has already been thoroughly discredited. It is not the obligation of those who know better to have to prove it to you over and over because you are a willfull and deliberate liar.
There really needs to be a thread where the tackiest and most dishonest neocon posters are not allowed -- through banishment -- to constantly drag honest discussion back down to their lowliest lies.
See there you go again benz, stating neocon talking points if they were indisputable facts.
"let's keep it in perspective . . . the guards who stacked naked pyramids and put hoods on guys, electrodes to genitals, underwear on heads, leashes on necks were common thugs and criminals yucking it up..That behavior was not sanctioned by the Army."
Wrong wrong wrong. It has been proven, it has been boasted by the very highest officals in the Bush administration -- Cheney and Rumsfield and and even W himself -- that those tacts were specifically approved in the WQhite House.
Common thugs indeed,a nd you try to cover it up.
Stop talking about truth, benz, you are a very dishonest contributor to the current political discussion.
What is your agenda? Are you paid by the RNC? Are you stupid? Or are you just so driven by hate of your fellow-Americans that you have lost all perspective?
The ideas you express are simplistic, benz. Truth is a very complex notion and you hardly have a monopoly on it. I believe that you are probably unable to grasp the notion that two contradictory beliefs can both be simultaneously true. You also seem to believe that truth is proven if you believe it. You are one of the reasons I refuse (I've made a little exception here) to argue with anyone on the internet who believes they own the path to truth. I am willing to spend a little time to mock you and others I find similar to you for my own enjoyment, nothing more.
I have finished my lunch and it is a beautiful day outside so I am out of here, but by all means, go spending your time thumping your chest, oh mighty war hero.
Opinions are rarely provable facts.
I find most of your opinions indigestible as they are imbued with pious generalizations.
I doubt that even Cheney woudl agree with you that he is a 'decent man.'
He showed a great deal of eagerness to go to 'the dark side" as he calls it, and he has obviously relished the role.
I believe he is more content being considered a a powerful man than a decent man.
SDome people's opinions are actually and provably erroneous. People who poin that out aren't intolerant. You had no basis to say that Christians are more tolerant and although the Constitution guarantees you the right to express stupid opinions, it doesn't make them right.
Yes they "call themselves Christians." Does that make them so?
In my experience, atheists are the most tolerant people.
Actually, the Scandinavian and Benelux countries are probably the most secular AND the most tolerant on earth. Statistics may say that a majority of the people are Christian, but they are extremely uninvolved with Christianity.
Another counterpoint to your statement is that the Christian population of the USA includes those who are probably the least tolerant of others.
You have a great propensity for expressing erroneous assumptions, Benz, and that's one of your finer qualities.
I would just like to say that I am so impressed with the way 'conservatives' have had the guts to stand-up and expose racism in the manner that they have.
Oppressed people everywhere are so lucky to have the Republican Party looking after them.
This is all too much for my simple secular mind.
I'm not going to argue Christianity with the self-righteous, but Christianity teaches that all men are sinners, and that Jesus died for our sins, and that salvation awaits all who accept Jesus in their heart, and that includes pedophiles, homosexuals, fornicators, adulturers, etc., Mr. Very Un-Christian and Hypocritical Misoft. Let he who is without sin, etc., etc.
ksuave
PS -- Fornicators??? -- Are you f*ckin' kidding?
What about Christian pedophiles?
Vince Foster knew the truth about where Obama was born; he had to go.
I'm not certain, Doc. Whenever I place an offer to buy between the spread the mm will raise the bid to match my offer. Sometimes it will fill after he does it and the price returns to the lower bid, or sometimes it doesn't fill but the bid will stay at my offer unless someone else offers more. Today eipc was at .01 - .017 and I put in an offer at .0125 and the bid immediately jumped to .0125. There was buying at .017 and they never gave me mine at .0125. Eventually the spread changed to .015 - .017, leaving me behind, unfilled (and unfulfilled as well). I think those transactions this afternoon at .25 were buys, not sells, not Knight looking for stock. I think they'd rather short than accumulate.
Your words are marked. As what, I'd rather not say.
You've figured it out rooster, you've seen through the marxist conspiracy but it's too late because all you God-fearing patriotic Americans will soon be slaves in the communist fema camps. Bwahahahaha.
Okay okay, you got a fill at .25 and you saved 4 whole dollars. Congratulations.
