Below is a post from February 22, 2011 which is two months from being seven (7)years. What has this very impressive board done beside making themselves wealth. I'm not telling anyone how to spend their money or time but if you can share your pleasure of what you think of this stock I surely can express my disappointment. These people are doing this company and it's investor a great disservice by not taking action in any form, I again say it cost them NOTHING to put out a PRESS RELEASE just for investor confidence if they wanted the stock to be profitable. everyone keep saying wait tomorrow or next week and it'll take off but each time it drop lower, then it's the lowest its going to go then it goes lower so it turn out this the best time to buy because it can't go no lower but it does.
What the hell is Ms. Kathryn Weisbeck even doing being part of running this company, she has no experience in business she's an actress.
