Cool and Zties-
Have re-read Paul's last shareholder letter and was again impressed with the degree of vision and commitment contained in that document. The day will indeed come when we will raise a glass to the stars and Hail Victory!
Best regards,
Dennis
Quote for the day.
Once heard someone say "When you fall, be sure to pick something up." He wasn't talking about stocks, but some good NPCT advice there. Wired a little too late for the last down tick, but still holding every share and accumulating on the buying opps. The roller coaster will continue. Grit your teeth, take some dramamine, and hang on. Remember the day will come when those swings will be dollars rather than dimes!
My Agora posts aren't taking, so will vent over here on occasion. Don't want to be accused of cheerleading, but still have total commitment to the future mega-success of NPCT. Look forward to the day when I can meet all of the longs in person. Feel like I know most of you from years of reading the posts. Prosper with NPCT!
Remaining long and strong.
Dennis
Don't tell me peace has broken out. -Brecht EOM
Thanks RW
Appreciate your efforts. Everything sounds positive. Any information we can get is always welcome.
Best regards,
Dennis
Vote prime rib au jus.
Wind chill is still -10 this AM. Go NPCT (let's fill that cheerleader spot)! Daddy needs electric socks and a new handwarmer!! Hang in there Cool_Hand- it's always darkest before the dawn (or something inspiring like that). :) :)
Dennis
Trekkie- Oh my!!
How did you find a picture of my uncle?

Re: MM activities
You're right bb! OTC sometimes reminds me of the pit of snakes from an Indiana Jones movie. One of those cases where paranoia would be nice compared to reality. Remarkable the system has not come apart at the seams. NASDAQ should be a vast improvement- when it comes!
Best regards,
Dennis
OT Kay
Success! Voyager's Belana (Velana?) never looked better. Enterprise is on in the background.
Best regards,

Perhaps a cheerleader squad is needed. They could sing Song of the Longs, boost morale on down days, and remind us of the light at the end of the tunnel. Of course, then what would bruce do?
Oh well- one of those passing thoughts! :) :)
Dennis
Thin line reality check
No response on Agora- so let the brilliant minds here react! Is it my occasional paranoia or do the MMs actually manipulate the OTC market (for example- walking the price on a series of small trades) as much as it appears? Think I can spot when this is going on, but never quite sure of the extent. A trader friend is trying to convince me that this is a figment of my vivid imagination (but then he trades mostly NASDAQ). Where is Adam Arkin when you need him? Feedback??
Pearls of insight and/or wisdom much appreciated,
Dennis
minister's suggestions
1. It's not hype- it's a mutual admiration society.
2. If the RB boycott succeeds- the bashers will go away without an audience to perform for (but then again, there's Willy).
3. Maybe some relaxation tapes for Joe.

Best regards to all,

Afternoon Price Increase
Nice run-up with good volume- particularly for a Friday. Makes one do an Arsenio Hall "Hmmmmmmmmmm"!
Best regards,
Dennis
Wheels of Justice
Nice to witness the wheels turning even if they need a shot of grease. Second (or third) to proposals to ban bullrider and RB-NPCT posting (in the interest of conserving energy and reducing perspiration).
Dennis
Dutch- Which galaxy is he from?
Best regards.
Dennis
Thanks to those who have shared personal and profound thoughts. Didn't expect such thought-provoking posts this early in the morning (need more coffee)! Agree that we've all been tempered like steel in fire by what we've already been through and that it's very important not to forget gratitude and sharing when we're filthy stinken rich. Prosperity and good will to all!
Dennis
Thanks Geoff. Learned a few more things I didn't previously know about the dark topic of OTC shorting.
Best regards,
Dennis
View on Price Swings
Sometimes I think we get to the point of "analysis paralysis." Have held and accumulated since early '99. Came to the conclusion early on, that the emotional roller-coaster of trying to understand every price-swing came at too high a cost. I'm enjoying the ride and have left the driving to the management team. The quality of the people Paul has added clearly inspires confidence. The confidentiality aspects can be hard to swallow. Think we'd all like to know what's happening behind the scenes, but I understand why this is necessary and am very confident that there are many exciting developments taking place. Just read between the lines of Kathy's Vegas transcripts. Price drops can be viewed as buying opportunities. Price swings will continue, but the long-term handwriting is on the wall. The day will come when we'll be looking at multi-dollar swings.
Long, strong, and calm.
Dennis
Perhaps a Ministry of Stractics and Tategy (or even an army special forces division) is neeeded. :) :)
Dennis
PS: It's the journey- not the destination (we all know where we'll end up anyway), so why not enjoy every possible moment of the trip (ooh gettin heavy)!
Island hut condos for longs in full dress uniform. Love it! My BDU's on the way. Peace and Prosperity!
Dennis
OT Dutch- Indeed a small world! MN taxes are a killer, but love my lake place in summer too much to leave. Plan on wintering in warmer climes though.
Best regards,
Dennis
If he was tempted out of retirement, he must really believe in the company! I retired early to enjoy life and smell the roses (with about 28 years in Minnesota) and nothing could bring me out of retirement. Of course, I had already found (as Tshark said) a "once in a lifetime opportunity' with NPCT. :) :)
Dennis
New Head of Business Development
One more building block! This chap has an excellent background with a great attitude toward NPCT. You can tell he's done his DD! Peace, harmony, and prosperity to all.
Long, strong, and calm.
Dennis
What theme? I'll eat your piece of pie if you don't want it. :)
Dennis
Key Lime Pie and Creme de Menthe are being served at the limbo contest. :) :)
Dennis
Was that a conch calling? Strike up the steel drums and throw the mangrove snapper on the firepit. Should we marinate them in something green first?
Dennis
Minister of Potholes on the Road to Prosperity has a nice ring to it. :) :) :)
Dennis
Geoff- sometimes reality sucks to the point where it's preferable to think that it's just paranoia! Maybe we could draft Adam Arkin as Minister of the fine line between the two. Smile everyone!
Dennis
Commission needed?
Sounds like the Minister of Latrines may need to open a Commission to Investigate Paranoia Producing Possible Prosecutorial Perversions for Passage to Electrocutions and Hangings. Fascinating detective work Geoff. If any basis to this, should self-destruct with a rebound effect.
Best regards,
Dennis
We'll look back on swings of a few pennies and calmly chuckle when we're watching multi-dollar swings and those about us continue to fret and perspire. No whine before its time. Song in the background "know when to hold em - know when to fold em."
The dealin ain't done by a long shot! Conserve energy and smell the roses- they are growing.
Dennis
Cool_Hand- Thanks
Needed that. 16 inches of new white stuff so chili's on, hot tub's cookin, snowmobiles fueled and will watch baby nano grow like it's on super steroids! The die is cast.
Dennis
Help! Minister of Energy and Perspiration is sitting in the middle of a major snowstorm and needs to entertain warmer thoughts about future NPCT party locations (kicking my behind for not spending another week in bb's part of the world). Anyone have warm, energy-efficient party thoughts. Suspect bruce's island security will be too tough to get past- so doubt that's an option! Prosperity to all NPCT longs.
Dennis
Party Ideas? The travel bug has bitten. At what point and where do we celebrate? Minister's edict says it has to be warm enough to conserve energy and cause mild perspiration.
Dennis
Nice post bb! Good factoids for all of us to ponder. This morning I passed on some written info on MIT-Auto ID to the fellow who runs the nearest Wal*Mart (currently converting to a supercenter). Should have a response later today, but doubt that he's aware of what his corporation is involved in here.
Smell the roses.
Dennis
Thanks RW. Interesting words from Herb. This whole thing is mushrooming and looking like it will grow at a faster rate than any of us imagined. Filthy stinken rich may well be the new theme song. Wonder if any of the longs are songwriters!!
Dennis
Like that closing price! Just read Kathy's transcript of Paul's Vegas talk and realized we're starting to sound like one of my favorite people- Carl Sagan saying "billions and billions." Baby nano is eventually going to make Godzilla look like the weakling on the beach! Think I'll put two chickens in the pot tonight.
Dennis
bruce- If you need another ministry filled, I'll volunteer. I have absolutely no qualifications, but I've retired early from my previous life of heavy professional responsibility- so am available for a new life of duty and commitment. My wife is torn between a winter place in Maui or St. Thomas (I liked the St Lucia isolation), so FSR is now mandatory (no qualms whatsoever that it's going to happen)!
Dennis
Hi everyone-
Just got back from a cruise of the southern and eastern Caribbean
out of San Juan so have had a bad case of NPCT withdrawal! (I did wave from the pier, bruce- LOL). Have held NPCT since early '99 and have continued to accumulate without watching closely. Now it's getting too exciting not to follow events on a daily basis. Need all the info I can get (it's becoming an addiction), so will join you over here in addition to Agora. Think I heard someone say, we're going to be filthy stinken rich!!!
Dennis
PS: Will polish up my sense of humor for this board.
