Welcome back, mypennies! You were missed :)

Meeting with the babysitter? :) C'mon, we all need your advice here on this stock since you were so right it'd tank.. just look at it now! lol
Agreed
Not yet begun to fight? Hmm, unlike you I'm sure I can name who said that famous quote :)
I've watched the board for some time, so don't let the new status throw you off. The 3 in question were all bashers that simply disappeared when this stock went the opposite direction.
Funny how TRADR, andre, and 05gto are nowhere to be seen :) they all seemed to have disappeared when this hit 4's... too funny :)
I work as a technical contractor for uncle sam & am a disabled vet.
You've got about 100lbs on me.
How big of a guy are you? Jeremy Clarkson owned one of these and he's over 6'2"
GTO05, where are you? Not bashing anymore? :)
See.. more reason I like the foz :)
They do? I've got an 09 SLK55 AMG... must say its not exactly a hooptie
Eat it 05gto :)
And we did it again. :)
We broke .0004 before just about a week ago.
The volume isn't bad for this early in the day.
it is pumping by posting the same thing over and over. relax, calm down, have a beer.
Old news meaning it was already posted to this board hours ago and the dazzle effect wore off. I can't speak for others, but I do try to do my research before blindly and emotionally posting something here.
Enough with the pumping, and the caps already. You're posting old news.
Already posted this 5 hours ago.
ROK = South Korean military. Very well trained, and some of the best the asian nations has to offer. I've worked with them several times from 03-06.
I'd stop emailing him. Every swinging dick out there that's invested is wondering the same thing, along with people who want to invest or journalists in general. He's very busy, as stated by those who were lucky enough to speak to him on the phone. He's well aware of our expectations. Let the man do his job.
Hooyah :)
Give a sailor some slack for veterans day :)
Medical marijuana gets a boost from major doctors group
The American Medical Assn. changes its policy to promote clinical research and development of cannabis-based medicines and alternative delivery methods.

November 11, 2009
The American Medical Assn. on Tuesday urged the federal government to reconsider its classification of marijuana as a dangerous drug with no accepted medical use, a significant shift that puts the prestigious group behind calls for more research.
The nation's largest physicians organization, with about 250,000 member doctors, the AMA has maintained since 1997 that marijuana should remain a Schedule I controlled substance, the most restrictive category, which also includes heroin and LSD.
In changing its policy, the group said its goal was to clear the way to conduct clinical research, develop cannabis-based medicines and devise alternative ways to deliver the drug.
"Despite more than 30 years of clinical research, only a small number of randomized, controlled trials have been conducted on smoked cannabis," said Dr. Edward Langston, an AMA board member, noting that the limited number of studies was "insufficient to satisfy the current standards for a prescription drug product."
The decision by the organization's delegates at a meeting in Houston marks another step in the evolving view of marijuana, which an AMA report notes was once linked by the federal government to homicidal mania. Since California voters approved the use of medical marijuana in 1996, marijuana has moved steadily into the cultural mainstream spurred by the growing awareness that it can have beneficial effects for some chronically ill people.
This year, the Obama administration sped up that drift when it ordered federal narcotics agents not to arrest medical marijuana users and providers who follow state laws. Polls show broadening support for marijuana legalization.
Thirteen states allow the use of medical marijuana, and about a dozen more have considered it this year.
The AMA, however, also adopted as part of its new policy a sentence that admonishes: "This should not be viewed as an endorsement of state-based medical cannabis programs, the legalization of marijuana, or that scientific evidence on the therapeutic use of cannabis meets the current standards for a prescription drug product."
The association also rejected a proposal to issue a more forceful call for marijuana to be rescheduled.
Nevertheless, marijuana advocates welcomed the development. "They're clearly taking an open-minded stance and acknowledging that the evidence warrants a review. That is very big," said Bruce Mirken, a spokesman for the Marijuana Policy Project. "It's not surprising that they are moving cautiously and one step at a time, but this is still a very significant change."
Advocates also noted that the AMA rejected an amendment that they said would have undercut the medical marijuana movement. The measure would have made it AMA's policy that "smoking is an inherently unsafe delivery method for any therapeutic agent, and therefore smoked marijuana should not be recommended for medical use."
Dr. Michael M. Miller, a psychiatrist who practices addiction medicine, proposed the amendment. "Smoking is a bad delivery system because you're combusting something and inhaling it," he said.
Reaction from the federal government was muted.
Dawn Dearden with the Drug Enforcement Administration said: "At this point, it's still a Schedule I drug, and we're going to treat it as such." The Food and Drug Administration declined to comment.
In a statement, the office of the White House drug czar reiterated the administration's opposition to legalization and said that it would defer to "the FDA's judgment that the raw marijuana plant cannot meet the standards for identity, strength, quality, purity, packaging and labeling required of medicine."
The DEA classifies drugs into five schedules, with the fifth being the least-restrictive. Schedule II drugs, such as cocaine and morphine, are considered to have a high potential for abuse, but also to have accepted medical uses.
Several petitions have been filed to reschedule marijuana. The first, filed in 1972, bounced back and forth between the DEA and the courts until it died in 1994. A petition filed in 2002 is under consideration.
Kris Hermes, a spokesman for Americans for Safe Access, said that advocates hoped the petition would receive more attention. "Given the change of heart by the AMA, there is every opportunity for the Obama administration to do just that," he said.
In a report released with its new policy, the AMA notes that the organization was "virtually alone" in opposing the first federal restrictions on marijuana, which were adopted in 1937. Cannabis had been used in various medicinal products for years, but fell into disuse in the early 20th century.
Sunil Aggarwal, a medical student at the University of Washington, helped spark the AMA's reconsideration after he researched marijuana's effect on 186 chronically ill patients. "I had reason to believe that there was medical good that could come from these products, and I wanted to see AMA policy reflect that," he said.
The AMA is not the only major doctors organization to rethink marijuana. Last year, the American College of Physicians, the second-largest physician group, called for "rigorous scientific evaluation of the potential therapeutic benefits of medical marijuana" and an "evidence-based review of marijuana's status as a Schedule I controlled substance."
Last month, the California Medical Assn. passed resolutions that declared the criminalization of marijuana "a failed public health policy" and called on the organization to take part in the debate on changing current policy.
Thank you.
As a Navy veteran myself, seperated September 16th 2009 with 2 tours in Iraq/Afghanistan and 3 tours in Korea/West Pacific, I still continue to serve as a civilian. Thank you to all fellow veterans out there.
Well if we knew that, it wouldn't be news now would it?
Don't you just love questions like this? How much thought really goes into them?
Does this mean we'll stop hearing from you on this board?
YIPPPPPPPPPPPPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)
I don't recall ever seeing Dean tell anyone a PR is due explaining O/S. I see people in here demanding it and emailing him about it.
Shame on Dean for not making all of you rich overnight.. shame shame shame! ;)
It doesn't matter if you give a rats ass if Dean is buying stock back. He HAD to put that out as per SEC regulations. Those are the rules. If he didn't do that then more people would be bitching and complaining about something he did and didn't tell the public. The guy just can't win with you people.
There's no contradiction. People want an immediate handout instead of waiting for something (where waiting = earned). My opinion is that those who do hold out will be rewarded. I shouldn't have to use the "IMO" or "IMHO" on this board, as it is the most over-used phrase here.
This is exactly the type of attitude I'm talking about.. "WHERE'S MY HANDOUT?!?!?!?!"
Point justified.
Its a stock, and there's no guarantees it will go up. If you lost, then that's just the nature of the game. Who is to say it won't go up past 0.03 again? Just because things aren't happening in your sense of time and urgency doesn't mean they won't.
Yep, a weak individual.. how old are you? 18? 19?
All I'm saying is to give someone a little more respect that is only trying to do some good. It doesn't hurt to listen, and merely bashing them is a sign of weakness.
Its foolish to tell anyone, including yourself, that you don't need to learn any more and that you have all there is to know.. even more of a fool to brush aside someone that has only good intentions in mind when it comes to you.
Too long for you? LOL, what a lame ass. He's trying to help you out, and you're too ignorant to look at something that can help you make some decent decisions and understand the market better? Yeah, this is yet another reason not to pay any attention to you, andre.
This board is too funny. I've been reading for a while now but recently decided to jump ship and sign up for an account.
It seems as if there are a lot of impatient, and immature "investors" posting here that are quick to bash, and not to mention get quite emotional because they're not getting rich overnight. Being originally from New Orleans, I can say this behavior is much like the "Where's my free handout? Where's my free money? I want it NOW!" mentality many locals in my town had after Katrina hit, and many exploited that very system.
To those out there: relax and be patient. The company has a lot on their plate and having "analysis paralysis" won't do you any good, as emotions tend to cloud your judgement, common sense, and logic (6 mergers don't happen overnight, folks, and many of you haven't even bothered listening to the entire shareholders meeting from August, hell.. most of you don't even bother reading this board and post the SAME information from the previous week with new and improved conspiracy theories). The FA on this business are pointing to good things.
Learn to shut up, be patient, and walk away from the computer every now and then. You will be rewarded. Its not just us that can possibly lose a small investment, but the CEO as well put 50k of his own funds into this.
Then why were folks posting that LA address in here earlier?
