Alright Ken, I'm back watching a little "tube", feeling a little mellowed out from a couple of tropical libations, and ready to relate my tale.... <wink>
Back in my wilder stock-chasing days, I was a big fan of a certain company which planned on presenting in NYC at the World Trade Center. I was invited to attend by their investor relations firm on May 1st, 1996.
While attending this event, I made personal acquaintance with, one Gayle Essary, and one Kenneth Babcock, who both attended it as well.
While nothing in particular stands out, I recalled that I was trying to figure out the quickest route on them gall-darn NY subways and Ken offered to direct me to Brooklyn Heights where I was staying with a relative. I believe that we spent much of the time discussing the difficulties he was facing in setting up the Netcapital website.. etc until he hit his stop.
Ken struck me as a rather nice fellow and I have no reason to suspect he was part of any unscrupulous activities. As for SAND, we all know how easy it is for us to perform due diligence to our hearts content, yet have that fail to be enough in the final analysis. I never purchased any of that stock, but I remember when it was recommended on the WK forum.
Seems to be heading back for where it was at the time of the recommendation from reviewing the chart. Oh well... :0)
Again, it is not illegal to be wrong in picking a stock which fails to live up to expectations. However, if "our favorite journalist" (OFJ, for short from now on... :0), is indeed guilty of faxing a press release that he authored to GIFS for them to distribute, I suggest that someone is in some serious trouble.
And it ain't me.
Regards,
Ron
