I think we all need to take a breath. I haven't seen many here who are fans of EV. Pete felt that something was different over the past couple of weeks, and he was right. Something was different, very different, but not in the way any of us had hoped.

At the same time, many of us still want to cling to the hope that ARTS will come through for us - after all, it does have a lot of things going for it, and if the work is done to complete projects, maybe (just maybe) it could turn around.

It's good that people are posting what, if any, interactions they've had with EV or Tom Nelson. Even if they are contradictory, it gives us something to think about.

But let's not start attacking each other. None of us has any power over what happens with this stock,only EV does. My suggestion: pray that he decides to do right by his investors.

but you did say that you had no intention of sending it to the proper authorities to let them sort out whether it was fraud.

You are right to an extent. I was promoting the stock for approximately 2 weeks or there about. Even after the 22nd when the trading halted. What made me start to question things was the fact that I wasn’t receiving answers to a few statements I’d submitted. No matter now but my concern is that you took a statement I made as personal attack towards you and I can honestly say that wasn’t the case. You’ve never given me reason to make such an attempt. I heard from EV tonight and he continues to back his claim about the Picasso, so I will watch and let this thing play out. So, rest assured that I have not personal interest stirring water that you’re swimming in.
