Not sure if my original post got deleted, and if so why?, but here is my reply from Mr. Jayson.
Seems we got his attention and now we wants someone to do his research for him. I will at least send him the link to the release from Tim after the NYP debacle.

Lots of GTE fans out there have been complaining about my characterization of the stock as "speculative."
Tell you what, you tell me what it is about GTE's profitability (negative after COGS, predicted to remain that way for the future) that makes it anything less than speculative.
Convince me, and I'll write all about it.

SJayson,
You unjustly make note of several companies in your article "CAFE Makes Investors Sick".
Specifically, Globetel Communications. It is completely unjustified that GTE is noted in your article as you provide no details, facts, figures or updates to what the company is today.
I am amazed. When I went to school and had to write a paper we had to research it and back up our claims. Your article is the same as me saying that "Mr. Brown who lives on my street got caught stealing so therefore Mr. Smith, Mrs. Thompson and Mr. Jayson must surely be thieves as I've suspected them for a long time." Sounds ridiculous and a little like a lynching. I wonder on your motives.
It is articles like this one why I never trust, or read the Motley fool if I can help it. The name says it all.
