...one thing is for certain...
...as long as you folks here continue to blame AMEX, Seth Jayson, Chris Byron, short sellers, hedge funds, ad infinitum, for GTE's fall, then you will not have learned the lesson that was obvious here, and extremely important to learn...
...AND you will continue to repeat those same mistakes as you move on to the next "penny stock"...
...if you don't believe that GTE the company had anything to do with its current situation and SP, then you should not be investing...IMO...
...Good luck all...Duke...
