    If I thought it was going to last more than a couple of days on the NAZ, I probably would have bought--but the news was that it was getting pulled from NAZ.

    I know two guys who bought K-Mart and Enron a day or two before they were de-listed. Bottom fishing. Didn't work out.

    Total risk capital. A throw of the dice if you ask me. Things are generally worth what people are willing to pay for them.

    I think the secrets not to risk your whole account on em.
    I had 20,000 of em yesterday but jumped out just before noon when the 0.06 suport got pretty thin.
    I play pigs alot and anything that sits at the 9-10cent mark is worth watching because once they loose that extra decimal at 11 and get some buying on them they can honk...It puts reward a little more in your favor.
    If they fall below 11 you get the extra decimal back which slows things up a bit.
    Guess everyones risk levels differant.

    I wouldn't read too much into this because with shorts covering and option and Leaps getting squared up that could explain the buying strength. I can't imagine that anyone is really investing. Maybe some are taking a long shot gamble but I would personally rather buy a lottery ticket.
