There is no question that the loyal long term investor has taken the brunt of the decline in the SP. I know I'm down $200K right now and thats not real funny. Yes it is easy to point fingers and blame others for our own decisions. I, like many, found comfort in this forum reading posts from smart people that seemed to justify my investment. None of us could have predicted what has transpired and where we trade now. It's easy to look back now and say boy I should have sold at $2.00 or $1.75 or $1.50 or 1.25 or 1.00 or .90 or .75 or .50. But we all believed and that is why we're here. No one to blame but ourselves. It's been very frustrating and with the lack of solid clear communication from PTSC added to the speculataion and theories that many including myself have discussed on this forum trying to fill in the blanks and figure this thing out. One thing I've noticed is that the timeline that PTSC is on and the timeline investors are on are differant. We want things to happen quickly and unfortunately stuff gets in the way and it takes time and patience. Some battles are won and some are lost, but in the end all that matters is that we win the war. I can live with TPL deciding it was too risky to take the patents through a trial and settling with the J's for next to nothing. If the patents had been approved by the USPTO in time, the settlement may have been huge. So we lick our wounds learn from the mistakes and come back next time smarter, stronger and hopefully with a USPTO stamp on the patents. Thats when we make the big boys pay. That's when it's our time. That's when it's our turn. And we'll look back at the .295 and laugh and say wow I sure wish I would have bought a few more thousand shares at that rediculous price.

All the best,

Steve
