Hot-hand, all of your concerns are valid. I'm thinking the same way. This is a very speculative stock- use money that you can afford to lose. I bought because their 4 major holdings, GFRE, CNOA, JADA, HSYT are all up from the March 2009 lows. Plus they have loans due back to them. (Read latest SEC filing). The main reason why this stock is down at these levels- lack of PR and no contact info. Their website is still operational and updating- latest stock info is updated daily. We'll hear from them eventually. The question is: are you willing to hold until then. I bought and will hold and see how things will turn out.
