NY BOB, don't give up on RPT yet. :) I believe so much in this company, that I bought another 11,000 shares at these low prices. They have 18 million in the bank, a good propety at Richards Lake and the ability to acquire a proven property.
Making money in stocks is tough to do. Some stocks are great trading vehicles. But even trading stocks can become buy and holds as the company begins to really achieve the goals that management is seeking. Buyouts or producers reflect that success.
