PLATO'S RETREAT (PLATO)

[Dream]

EPS= $.26 - Cash= 12.8M or $1.14/share & Spin-off (take a look)

I have not been trading much at all in the past 9 months, but have been doing a LOT of researching. I’m now feel that the market may have hit bottom, or close to it. The Federal Reserve Board will most likely drop the interest rates on Jan 31. IMO this is a good time to pick up some great deals, ATEX being one of my favorites.

This looks like an excellent opportunity to me. Research for yourself.
