I believe that DNAP is one of the most interesting stocks to own and follow. They deal with plenty of cutting edge scientific issues and for the most part over the years have had the potential to transform itself into a money making powerhouse.

With that having been said, the debate that rages on at RB and a little bit here has been unsettling for me. At the end of the day what do I really know about the science? I'm not even close to being in the field and doing any DD is difficult except from my layman's understanding.

What healthy way can a layman participate in this medium?

As you can tell, I'm at a point of reexamining my participation. This board really does give me what I need, and I do really appreciate those like Mingwan(SP) that try to explain the science.

I don't plan on selling my DNAP shares, I just don't know if
my very small contributions are worth it.

In some ways we have a small fellowship that follows this company. There are many here that I like and I don't even know you.

Take care, Jim

Stak: I totally agree. I know you've been on the RB channel (the soap opera it is) for a time too. Since I got into DNAPrint, about 3 years ago now, I have seen the same.

As a matter of fact, I am still holding one company that I was into, Pcc, to the tune of $90k (what can I say..the bubble burst) and I certainly do appreciate every last penny that anyone has invested. It's a gut thing. I just see some people who thrive on doing the gut-twist to some really good people who've put in, in some cases, their last dime.

Since you've been around a while, you know that I've been lucky enough to get in lower, then unlucky enough to have bought more higher, then very happy to have bought in way WAY lower over the years.

I don't trade my shares and have taken the Tax Man out of the equation (until I feel that he can have his share..oh..say within 23 months..lol). I think that buying on the dips has been quite a settling experience. With each purchase I've also sat and watched it go higher then fall back. But, in buying on those dips, I've been more secure in seeing the pattern become more clear.

I've mentioned to a buddy of mine who also posted here that just on the buying spree on the dips...it serves to take that "upset stomach" feeling away when we shink back. Accumulation and holding has worked for me. It is not for everyone...that's for sure.

Opposed to this is the person or group, or even entity, that seeks to bring it down by malicious means. They pump and then sell..and then try to get it lower on BS posting...then annouce they're back in.

As I've said, on both boards, I don't have any problem with anyone trading the company every two seconds. My issue is in saying it's great on Monday, Selling on Tuesday, Bashing on Wednesday and Thursday...and then buying on Friday.

People don't need the anxiety attack they create. On that we can all agree. I was reading you remark about your pp. It must be tough to see that and see that you're down to less than 2/3's of your money.

I can only say that I was in the same boat...decided by luck and circumstance this was the place to be...and bought a heck of a lot more on these dips. It will allow an unsure investor the opportunity to get back capital if needed for sure...but for me, being very long, it allows me to just sit and watch and thank goodness I bought on the dips because some of my purchases were at much higher levels than this.

So, in essence, I understand you completely, having been there myself. That's why I was referring to a post earlier as Good Grief. I just doubt that a lot of people would put up the aggressive stuff (post) they do, on a penny stock, and expect someone who's been in a long time (me) seen the pps go north, south, sideways, and expect someone who's "been there and done that"..to take it.

Anyway, another long winded response by me in attempting to verbalize how I appreciate your investment, economic impact, and ideas. I can only say that I shared them at one stage of my life...and then learned the real value of averaging down when committed.

Lastly, I am also in tune on the family connection tie in. I've put some serious shares into Trust for my Indians too. I did it for my own reasons. I just chuckle when I realize that my kids have more at stake than some (what I believe truly is) manipulation by a bunch of kids in some back room at some dumpy flop house.

Those of us who own the shares know what I/you mean. And lastly, lol, about a year and a half ago, I stopped looking at my IRA and just put the envelope into a drawer for future reference!

Good luck..hang tough...and we'll see.
