Bidrogen,
When I buy a stock, I am buying it to make $$ if possible. I did buy ETIM way back, and sold it a couple times, made some money, and got out, went away, and then saw something that caught my attention, and I bought back in, like a damn fool. This time I knew better, but listened to folks on this board, thinking/hoping that they knew something or saw something I did not see. I have been very sorry ever since, as should EVERYONE here, "they" continually say this is a long term hold, well that is for sure, how long is LONG, it is wishful thinking, that is what it is. I was once told by a rich friend that you NEVER average down, BECAUSE if a stock is headed down, it will NEVER turn back up unless there is a VALID REASON. He said it is ok to hold a stock on the way down if you really think it will turn, but if you are going to buy more, you wait until it starts to go back up. Well, I am waiting, I am worrying now that we will all be very sorry that we got into this stock. BLACKLUNG says 5 years, that may be so, but after how many R/S, and how many of the same stockholders will be here, there are some less than 3000 now, a few months ago there were 4000, scary. SOROS, sorry, but this had to be said, I am not being negative, I am being realistic, which is very rare on this board, most of the time all we hear is dreams of yachts, to da moon, and all the rest of the wishful thinking.

They think they can produce a better 'flip play' if they bash it when they're really buying to get it cheaper by a tick or two. Same when selling, they'll say EI is a ROCKET about to take off.

Some here today are bad about that crap. I get on them a lot and they know who they are. It's underhanded in my opinion.

Just flip and be quiet about it that's what I say.

Just my opinion though,
