Gary,
Reading your post, you are about the most stubborn dude on the face of the planet! The financing was nothing like what you had offered. Why can't you just admit you were wrong, end of story? Y'know, the real measure of a man is to be able to admit that we don't have all the answers, even when we think we do.

With all due respect, you tout your ability to discern whether stocks are going up or down by adding up the buys and sells like this is some kind of brilliant, world-altering find. If you've ever worked on Wall Street (not talking about putting time in as IR), or taken an entry-level finance course, you would know that supply & demand is the first thing that is taught to explain price movement in any financial instrument.

Further, your "discovery" that the stock was being spread around the Street instead of being dumped into the market under 144 could have been tracked by a monkey. I suggest you tone your "revelations" and "chest thumping" down a little.

I agree Georgia Bard. Mine was an attempt at a dig at Rosey and others who seem to bash those who actually do read the filings and see those items such as you read and Vegas posted here.


Several theories including mine are compiled on the evidence, but can never be proofed unless irrefutible evidence or the person admits to the acts, i.e. who was shorting the debentures they held. It is common sense that something was going on, but some need it taped to a brick and thrown in their front window. Those same people seem to me to also fall for the conspiracy theories with absolutely no proof.

Hey, if I were an insider and knew the deals had fallen through Jan-Feb2000 or earlier (as in no Walmart deal) I would have shorted a million shares at $1.90 and been set covering 6 months later. It is shrewd business if you know a stock will fall, just as some buy stocks when they know it will rise. But no proof of if any insider did that despite the evidence.
