For the record, I'm certainly not accusing anyone of "bashing" or trying to manipulate. I understand that you are only voicing opinions.

My message is only that it isn't helping matters, and may be promoting that opinion to manifest (e.g., why should I hold/buy when so many opine a continuing downtrend?). And I do acknowledge there is a trend. But the trend is the ONLY basis for the opinion.

Last week people were expressing glee over the apparent continuing selling by S&L enabling their conversion of more shares. This is also a likely cause for our current trend. But those conversions are nibbling away at another thorn in our side.

And in case no one noticed, the market is down pretty big today. I have no idea how prevalent margin buying is these days (in the late '90s it was rampant), but this too could be a cause, at least today. PTSC is not marginable, and a prime candidate for sale to cover a margin call (because if you sell a marginable stock, you'll get an even larger margin call because the asset backing the "loan" decreases).

Just setting the record straight and voicing my opinions.
