RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:Longs remember why we are invested in HPQ!! Like you Pandora, I have a few of the same micro-caps, including HPQ, and I'm getting 'tired'. Although I've not yet hit 80 like you, I am retired and drawing CPP and OAP so not as long to wait as some of the young bucks. I've also been strung along by several of these microcaps for many years. My advice to the older crowd would be to minimize $$ invested in these 'science experiments' which may look closer to creating value, but really are science experiments in the developing stages. Let's hope HPQ shows their real stuff soon and gets taken out by the highest bidder. That from one tired old soul, me!

For small caps I have a few more that are mirroring the performance of HPQ -- and their management has nothing to say i.e. the silence mode, day after day, week after week, month after month. Seems to be a CEO club. Nothing to say and all day to say it.
One I give a slight chance of success is EXRO (although someone through a patent infringement suit at them -- which has pretty much frozen them in a range). Another that I have been waiting 8 years for, and, being a pharma company depending on Clinical Trials and the FDA, I may be waiting another 8 years, although I'm likely too old for that, and that's TLT. It could be big but..... just goes on and on. Pharma's you probably should be under 50 when you invest. That should give you about 20 years of waiting. HPQ is not a pharma so it "may" be less.
