no offense, but you're inexperience is showing through on the issue of "Cold hard" facts. I for one appreciate a "Well balanced" perspective, but LL's fails to grasp the very different nature of micro-cap stocks, opposed to blue chips and then all other sizes in between. I think it would be of great benefit for you to do some reading on this VERY distictive difference to help educate yourself more since your trying to manage your own money. But, I'm fair and so I don't "mis-read" you, I'm interested in what you mean by "cold hard" facts of which LL speaks of, just in case I missed something? And are you talking in the past, or now and future? Please in the spirit of being "Well balanced" include the most recent "cold hard" facts on developments in EDIG's latest press. I'm interested. And remember the old saying on investing for irresponsible people, "A fool and his money........are soon parted. Thanks for sharing your view. mguru
