Man I would cherish one of Misfit1's posts. He always has a way of keeping the nerves settled. There is one thing I do hope and that Misfit1 is well. Otherwise....pleezzzzzzzzzzze drop us a line.....even to say you have nothing to say. I don't particularly think that the bantering is very bad now...all is settled.

Something to think about if your invested or thinking of investing in NOT:

I have a great respect for Misfit1, Mining Junkie, Bentonstocks, Stratopod and many other posters here. The "support" of the NOT investment community is what keeps the nerves calm..and for good reason...we have knowlegeable people who are happy to give of themselves so others can succeed. May I say one thing...listen, learn and remember. I know I'm doing that daily. This is an awesome forum. The best I've seen for investing. It's not a pump and/or bash blog or a boxing ring. Its a large number of investors who have one common interest...to succeed, and there are a great number of the same investors who...through their "posting" provide repudible information for those less knowledgeable to make informed decisions. Can we ask for more... I think NOT. Will we hit 10.00 next week..who knows..but I do know I feel confident we will hit it sometime in the future..there are too many well informed posters that give me that guiding light. Are some of these posters self directed..of course..are they harmful to the others here..no..and why is that...we are responsible for our own decisions. Nothing posted here is what I would call "broker advice". No one is being "told" to buy NOT..but man we sure as h*** want to let the new investors know whats been going on and why we will be lifting off sometime soon (how soon..who knows for sure).

Heres the point of my banter...the rule of investing has always been.. don't buy the stock for its past gains or surprising jump in price...buy for the company and what the company represents to its investors...buy into the management that knows how to develop the company and make it a success. I for one feel we have those ingredients here. The investors here seem to feel the same and why not...we all have money staked on this being a successful company. I can't imagine what the combined investment portfolio of this forum is with respect to NOT, but I'm sure once combined, it competes with some of the bigger investment firms holdings. No one here is pushing a loser company..we all have the confidence to let it grow and mature into something great. That's what you invest in no matter what the stock. Ok, my fingers hurt now.
