...Lee...some very fair questions...
...first off, I have some skin in this game...I got caught short when I attempted to trade @$0.08ish a coupla months ago...I unloaded most of my shares near $0.10, but am still holding several thousand below $0.092...
...the initial reason that I came here was to spar with an old nemesis : captncarl...
...I have made several successful trades here (always long), and, even if DKAM goes to zero I'll be black...
...I am a notorious short, so when I go to MB's of a stock which I am considering shorting (always a part of my DD), I set my sight on the most ebullient posters (more commonly referred to as PUMPERS)...the more that I believe they are desperate and deceitful, or should I say, LYING, the more confident I am in my short...this works, I would estimate, at least 70% of the time...
...I have known you as a true and honest gentleman who views this company objectively...if you feel something is not "right", or if you find yourself "P.O.'d" or misled, you let this board know...as you should...you like to, as is said, hold the company's "feet to the fire"...
...referring back to "ebullient posters", I picked up on this right away here, even though I cannot short under $5 with my SCOTTRADE account...you know who I am referring to...somehow they've mysteriously disappeared...no surprise to me, as I've seen this time and time again...
...I believe that if you take the time to visit my posting history, you will see that I have been empathetic to shareholders such as yourself, but combative to those who I felt were misleading this board...I do not deny consistently urging shareholders to consider "taking something off of the table" during each spike, but have NEVER urged anyone to sell otherwise...
...I have never said that this company is heading to bankruptcy, and I still believe that this company's original game plan is a potential winner...
...today we are left with many broken promises that I DO NOT blame solely on J. Patrick...alot has occurred with the economy, etc that were out of management's control, 'tho I believe that recent history has proven that the Olifant acquisition is / was, to this point a blunder of possibly disastrous proportions as far as the survivability of this company is concerned...
...all that said, I enjoy posting (sometimes sparring) here with the various personalities and "entities" here...
...I have been enriched through this board with the friendship of people such as yourself, but especially "kezzek", who, when everything was said and done has shone as the true beacon of objectivity and honesty...IMO he is a "Man's man"...
...I've never seen him act impulsively or immaturely as I have done (in order to elicit a quick, cheap laugh) and, 'tho I believe that he is enjoying some of his recently "discovered" celebrity, I know in my heart that he has more empathy for folks such as yourself than anyone else here...
...I hope to meet him one day...
...in closing, I hope the day will come (sooner rather than later) that something somehow will propel this company to respectability and a MUCH higher SP...
...don't forget...I am a shareholder as well...Duke...
