Hi onefortheroad, I'm in with cost basis almost identical to yourself, though not for 2 years.

Question: Do you really think the "bashers/pumpers" affect the share price?  I've followed some of that traffic elsewhere and have a hard time believing it.  Maybe it's true, I don't know because I don't have good market information or understanding.  I do understand following the channel, and am in similar position as yourself able to use a few shares for that, which of course almost isn't worth the trouble.  My opinion is what these guys do with their sky is falling routine at the top, and sky is the limit routine at the bottom, has absolutely no affect on anything other than they have nothing better to do.
