individual retail gas stations. The company currently operates five

I don't know what the story is but I'm glad that it has been steadily
climbing back.  Hey I've got an idea.  Mabybe we can start a rumor
that says GU has come to an agreement with the government on the tax
issues, and now they are opening all of their plants back up for
production.  Good rumor huh......

If you decide to stick with it I think you'll do alright down the
road, just might take a few months before you start seeing some
results.  You just gotta take it as a learning opportunity.  I bought
DAN and AXL a month back both at around $2 when the cash for clunkers
thing came out and got real excited because I sold them at around $3 a
day later.  Today, DAN is at $6 and AXL at $8.50 so I'm still kicking
myself for getting out too soon...  I learned my lesson, though, and
resisted selling DPTR after they went they recently went from $2 to
2.50 last week because of what happened with AN and AXL and today it's
pushing $4.  Stay with it, man, GU will come back at some point and
when it does you should do very well.  I might get back into GU myself
at some point down the road... Good luck, man. those of us that have
seen the down side of GU might be seeing a start to the UPSIDE.  Good
news, it has started up above $2.

  Let's hope that positive news is taking place in China.  I have been
hoping that they will finally get a chance to sell what seems to be an
awesome product but w/o the added tax burden that the China government
is trying to impose on them.  Maybe that is finally being resolved.
Wishful thinking anyway!  6 months ago the DOW was at 6,500. 95% of
companies are going to show a strong 6 month trend when you look at
their charts.  Secondly, I wouldn't exactly say that GU has had a
strong 6 month trend.  If you look at their charts, they were
consistently up and down between $2 and $2.75  (a sizable spread) and
are currently below their 200 day simple moving average.  I think the
only thing that will have a sizable and maintainable impact on this
stock is if they get their plant in China that was shut down over a
tax dispute re-opened.  Its been a few months since that happened and
still no word on that happening anytime soon and I got tired of
waiting which is why a bailed a few weeks back.  Might be a good long
term stock thought...  Good luck!
