rado,

Maybe it's age, or maybe experience, or maybe a little bit of both; but, I no longer believe anything that isn't in a filing or some other publicly presented document.

I have been optimistic that something may finally happen with Vyta. After continual disappointments since 2000, I can tell you, however, that I wouldn't invest a penny in any penny stock, especially this one, without something to support all the claims made in press releases and in bulletin board chatter.

I guess a lot of it has to do with my beliefs. Maybe I'm not really meant for big business. Any statements that I make must be balanced. There must be disclaimers about conditions which might color any broad statements that I make.

I felt somewhat betrayed after the Brunetti/Intercell deal, and the contract that fell through with Los Alamos. That opened my eyes in a big way.

I know exactly what you mean about the value of your original investment and what it's worth now. I feel like I was pretty stupid to listen to the people that offered such optimistic opinions of Nanopierce without any real results. I take full responsibility for my actions, and for the small fortune I lost in Nanopierce (which isn't as much as you have lost, but, reasonably close).

I hope you're rewarded in other ways, rado. It's tough to believe in something for so long.... I still hold all of my original investment in Nanopierce because it's just not worth selling. It would be nice to think that you, and others like you may one day be rewarded with commercial success.
