Thank you for your terrific initial advice. I subscribed on 12/26/05 and bought positions in FMCN, TOMO, and MOT the next day on the 27th. At the end of today, only two weeks later, I have gained 36.37% with FMCN, 8.71% with TOMO, and 4.23% with MOT. Granted that we have been in a rally, but gains like that in only 14 days are spectacular. I also appreciate your having been rapidly on the ball with your analysis of the PD debacle today -- I was wondering whether to buy based on your initial recommendation, and held off to see if you would comment. I'm glad I did.
