Thanks for your comments David. It will be interesting to see how the market 
respects the support previously gained at $0.57. For me just starting a 
portfolio, I am thinking that this is too risky a stock (albeit undervalued) 
for me to purchase. The continueing down trend that this stock has taken 
since it has been in the stock market turns me off. Perhaps I miss out 
without taking such a risk? Time will tell - thanks again :)
