RE: From SI board...

I think it's wise to also consider the membership date of "disgustedshareholder". The poster joined SI on Nov. 26/99 and has only posted one message - the one that ACE101 posted here. I have to ask myself, "does this person actually hold any shares of HCI, and if so, how long have they been a shareholder and why do they remain a shareholder if they're that unhappy with their investment? As well, if they are a shareholder, why did they wait until now to post? Did they ever believe in the company? If so, why didn't they post something positive at that point? Why wait until now to only post something negative?" IMO, this is a high risk investment that can pay off big in the end if things materialize. I wouldn't suggest that anyone averse to high risk maintain a position in this company. The company fell into penny hell over 10 years ago and, under the guidance of Alan Biggs, was never able to climb back out. We now have a new CEO, a "fresh" new concept for the soup company (which is proving itself successful), and a new direction into the .com world. The long term potential, IMO, and as ShockerAl has already pointed out (with examples), is exponential - another example is CMOZ, which went from $0.05 to $5.00 in a matter of days. Again, this is just MY OPINION! I'm quite content waiting things out to see how they unfold. I may make money, I may not. It's my belief that I will (make money) but only time will tell.
