IMHO- your only 28...leave it there and cont to purchase at these discounted prices...you will accumulate more shares...when the overall market finally wakes up...you will see a nice jump in value. You only need to be concerned if you only have 5 years or less until retirement!

Doing great! Thanks for the bathroom remodel 101 class last night! Not sure if green board or hardibacker behind tile! Sounds like a job for a pro! I've got 5K worth of tile work! You game!!!!!hahahaha

A question for everyone...
Do you all have money in 401k's that you dont touch? Did you go cash last fall?
I have been depositing into my 401k for about 8 years now, small at first, 400 bucks a month for the last few years. I had a little over 30 grand last fall which quickly became 18. It is rebounding a little, but is SO frustrating. I just keep thinking, DAMN, im sure I could do better with it if I was in control of it. I know it is foolish, and I would have to pay the taxes, but it is very tempting. Plus, im only 28 so I guess Im not in any real hurry.

one things for sure, when we get closer to retirement ill be watching the market very closely...

Hey Bill!!! Sorry for not posting lately. Been on just about everyday, but dont feel like I can contribute much as Im still learning off you folks. Still waiting for my stocks to take off again. Sold off another 8400 SIRI shares @ .54 today I had sitting in my IRA acct and now trying to figure out what to do with it, might hold till a SIRI pullback for more shares or I might add some to QASP, if it falls to .03 or lower. I have 119K shares and thinking about adding another 120K.

Yeah Tib, I was searching around for her, cuz i wanted to get an idea what she looked like, but i couldnt really find her. Im not on any of the social networking sites tho, so im not sure if you could find her on there maybe?? ANYWAY, I just entered "karen ##### investors relations" into google. I dont remember exactly what came up, and if they were recent or not, but i was really surprised at the number of companies.

Hey Tree,

Gave this a whirl this morning, punching the same into Google ... It may be that she runs a PR\IR business, here's one bit;

TORONTO, ONTARIO, Nov 30, 2006 (CCNMatthews via COMTEX) -- The Directors of Probe Mines Limited (TSX VENTURE:PRB) are pleased to report that they have retained Ms. Karen ##### to provide investor relations services for the company. Ms. ###### has no relationship, direct or indirect interest, or right to acquire such an interest in Probe Mines and will actively focus on shareholder and investment specialist communications. Ms. ##### will work from her Toronto-based office.

Commencing immediately, Ms. ###### will provide investor relations services for an initial period of twelve months ending October 31, 2007, the arrangement may be terminated by either party with 30 days advance written notice after six months. In consideration of her...

Then there is another company, Titan that produced this interesting email exchange ...

I took her last name out as doing this search also provided a link directly back to here ...

What does it all amount to? Either the aforementioned firm\business that I mentioned ... it could be just a matter of jumping to different jobs, but that last link would seemingly negate that, looking at the dates and content ... Obviously covering more that just miggle ...

Just thinking this all out loud ... It occurred to me that the company I work for hires out a person for IR related matters, and would see this person around at times prior to announcements what have you, so this isn't something out of the ordinary and they cover a variety of different company's. Most company's are not constantly cranking out info either so the 'delays' could be construed really more from the wishful thinking of impatient investors ... Have to leave this train of thought trailing ... got to get ready for work.

As far as fishing, weather was bad on Friday, so only managed 4 silver salmon, about a dozen black rockfish and a nice yelloweye. BTW, it took a little while to find boxes to ship the smoked salmon in, the wife has them packaged now and they should go out this week, be on the lookout and let me know what you guys think!!!!

Alot of talk about remodeling on here lately. Im also in the process of redoing a bathroom, changing out 6 windows, replacing a boiler and installing a new garage door. I may be leaning on you experts for some advice at some point!

Andy

Hey Andy,

QASP is supposed to be signing those 4 and maybe 5 acquisitions on the 28th. You can all ready see the early morning spike everyday where people are getting antsy. When it takes off, it will go fast in my estimation. Those are just my own thoughts though. Being that it is summer, stocks are traditionally slow. The DOW and NAS have been doing poorly. Pennies have a mind of their own, but are slower than usual.

It sounds like you have yourself busy with the home remodeling. It takes a lot of time and work to get it done, not to mention money. Are you going to do it yourself, or have somebody do it for you?

I would love to be out there fishing with you. Fishing is a lot of fun.

I will let you know as soon as your fish arrives here. I am all excited about that!

Well, let's see what these stupid stocks will do today and chime in and ask questions if you have any.
