around us. Good points in your post, Larscot. I can tell by the tone of the posters that everyone is growing tired of waiting and worried about losing even more money. It is sad to look at your declining balance--makes you wonder WHY didn`t I get out before--I am concerned that if they wait is too long, PTSC`s old longs will leave and I hate to see that happen. I have been looking at other investment opportunities also. If you find some good ones please post. I will also be happy to post what I find. I still feel that settlements will be released soon. ads
