Missionsman...thanks for the update. I have been reading posts on this board since December and decided to finally post. I have owned some of my shares from 2009 but most of them were purchased in 2010 so I am in this for the long haul. I was tempted to sell everthing when the pps reached a dime but I decided to wait because I think this will go alot higher. I may be wrong but that is what I think will happen. It sure was fun watching the run to a dime. I am ready for the excitement of another run. I am familiar with the stock market but I have learned alot about penny stocks from the posters on this board. Anyhow, it doesn't appear that anyone has responed to your post about the Helmerich Research Center so I was curious if you or anyone who reads this has found out anything else on why this happened? Thanks
