"would anyone really want to be a part of actually promoting to others to invest in such a play?"

I can not remember the last time anyone on here promoted buying this stock.

"The intention of a stock blog board is for investors to question and speculate what is going on with any given company, in this case Crystallex."

I would agree with this statement, however, with this particluar stock we are probably not going to get answers to ANY of the questions that you keep asking.

I'm not trying to be confrontational here. I'm just saying that we have played the blame game ad nauseam, questioned motives, discussed conspiracy theories........does it help any of us? My answer is no. If you are still holding shares at this point, all I say is good luck. (And I hold way too many shares than I care to admit.)
