If you are going refer to something I posted, get it right. Do not mis-represent what I've written.

Now, as I'm always compelled to do, I'm going to waste some time correcting you.

First, I suggest you do something relatively simple. Go to Yahoo Quotes and bring up PTSC. Click the chart for some time frame, then, at lower right of the chart, input the time span of 12/15/09 to 12/31/09.

The numbers of shares involved in that time frame were roughly 3,000,000 on the way down (12/15/09 - 12/29/09), and 1,600,000 on the way up (12/30/09 - 12/31/09). A bit more significant than you depict. And you are correct to a degree, in that it probably wasn't a huge amount of money involved - a significant amount, but not huge. But consider this, ease willingly and knowingly destroyed his credibility, sold his integrity, for the savings/additional shares he was able to buy. So say it was a small amount, what does THAT tell you?

Why PTSC, and this message board? Because he HAD some credibility here. And he had, via a cohort, absolute control of this message board. And, the little thing you are not supposed to recognize, he had a real strong feeling that good things were about to happen (the '336 "slam dunk" - his words from two months prior). Why go somewhere else? Bottom line, though it is impossible to quantify how much influence those posts had, look at the obvious. When his serious bashing started, we were at .17. When he stopped, we were at .14. Nothing else (news, revelations, nothing) happened during that time frame. When the bashing stopped, ease actually posted something positive about the BoD ("they had good intentions", in contrast with "they're only interested in screwing shareholders" - the latter paraphrased), and he and his cohorts started buying, the PPS ran straight back up to .17 (though they had probably stopped buying at .15, momentum taking it the rest of the way up).

So everyone here, and most importantly Agora management, must consider whether you want to participate in a forum akin to RB. We came here for a reason - to escape that non-sense.

And everyone here should consider what happened to those that sold as a result of this manipulation. Will they be back? Do you consider it ethical and "right" that people were essentially screwed out of some of their money - not by the BoD, but by certain greedy shareholders?

And everyone should consider what happened to the (albeit, probably few) potential shareholders who visited Agora for insight during the midst of the bashing. Will they buy? Sure, they could do DD and reach some conclusions. Likewise, they could consider the patents, the licensees to date, the potential (the reason all of us are here), then read here that "ALL the income from the MMP was squandered" (which is simply not true), and that all future income will be squandered creating no shareholder value. Will they buy?

It just kills me when I read things like: the bashing doesn't matter, all people have to do is look at SEC reporting and know not to invest. Then why are you invested? Isn't that an adequate reason for others to invest? It's like saying "people would have to be stupid to invest in PTSC, but I hold a ton of shares!". But people eat it up.

And you say you're down six figures over the last few months. Sorry to hear that. You attribute ALL of this paper loss to the BoD? Weren't there any other influencing factors? Like people needing cash for the holidays or experiencing hard times, needing to liquidate? Like year end tax loss selling? Like MM manipulation? Like bashing? You say it is entirely due to the suspected, unproven "tomfoolery" going on behind closed doors (by the BoD)?

You are invested in an OTCBB. You expect everything to be squeaky clean? Even the largest companies cannot live up to the expectations people seem to have for PTSC. I could tell a story about how a little company called GM decided to rip some 500,000 shareholders of GMH, to the tune of billions. We sued, they won (big surprise).

And now I suppose I must again say that I'm not happy with many, if not most of the decisions made by the BoD over the past few years. I didn't like the dividends, prefering stock buy-backs. I didn't like the acquisitions, again prefering stock buy-backs, along with safe investments. We already had enough risk on our plate with the MMP, and we didn't have the expertise to manage the assets acquired. Said it then, say it now, said it all the time in between. Yet I'm for some reason labeled a cheerleader for the BoD. Some people apparently have serious info retention problems.
