So how do you determine that this time is different? Is it because it jibes with your outlook, your hopes?

My outlook and hopes, or lackthereof, for this stock are not the topic of discussion. For one, I do not invest on hope. And my outlook is usually based upon facts in existence. One fact is that Versace participates in the analyst conference calls, representing Think 2020. Here are some more facts:

* Versace is the director of research at Think 20/20.

* He is a weekly contributor to The Washington Times.

* He is a weekly guest on America's Morning News - where he discusses the stock market, the economy, etc.

* Versace was formerly the portfolio manager of Agile Capital Management.

* He was an analyst at Donaldson Lufkin Jenrette, as well as Salomon Brothers.

* He has received awards for his he research and analyst coverage.

* He was a five-star analyst by Zacks Investment Services and a four-star analyst ranked by Star Mine.

I could add more, but I don't feel it (or you) is worth the time and I want to get back to watching the hockey celebration. So in a nutshell, to answer your question, I determine that this time is different by taking into consideration all available facts, the source of the article, and applying common sense.
