"It was commendable of Ronran to mention his purchase yesterday."

Can we take that to mean you will be alerting the board regarding all your trades, in advance from here on forward?

I guess a long term investor buying before earnings are released is nothing to get excited about, especially when the volume is almost 10 times normal trading levels.

Isn't that actually more meaningful than speculative money flow at this point?

I look forward to the time when speculative dollars start chasing a company fully emersed in a turnaround story...AND getting excited about it too.

Nothing wrong with being happy or excited when the direction of the pps begins to support your investment strategy.
