Good Morning Jack,
First on the other stock it wasn't the MM it was the CEO.
Second, hold as long as you want, but if you bought at .09 and sold at .50 you made 500 percent. Isn't that what you are here for? Where else can you make that kind of money? I've just layed out why you will not see these types of gains once the split is over.
Third, Have you noticed that by the proxy all the executives have options within 60 days of 1 Feb to buy more shares, and have they?? Not one.
Greed is the downfall, 500 percent gain would make most people happy, you have convinced others to hold and hold forever, we'll see what you tell them in the future, probably the same as what should be said on the other board, "i'm sorry"
