I agree with those who still regret the termination of Y2Kster's Silicon
Investor account. He was definitely not "riff-raff". I am certain that
ostensible vulgarity had no bearing on his ouster. His departure was
the result, IMO, of the type of controlling, policing mentality that calls
for the removal of perceived shorts from this and other threads.
In my judgement, he was a stock-smart, clever, and creative poster.
He recently made five very accurate calls, perhaps the most stunning
of which was his prediction of TPRO cratering on August 11. I asked
him how he did it and he wrote back the night of August 11:
"The call on TPRO was common sense. Anyone who takes the time
to read TPRO's SEC filings will see that 100,000 shares of preferred
stock becomes 1,000,000 shares of common stock after the stock
closes 'above 3 for 20 consecutive days'. Today [August 11th] was
the 20th day. Notice how the smart people bailed on Friday!"
There's more, but it's of a qualifying nature and doesn't amplify the
essence of the y2Kster's detective work. He was good. He did his
homework, and he shared it with us albeit in "Riddler" fashion. I
think those who had him removed because "of the garbage" he was
supposedly "spewing" on the thread have done a tremendous
disservice to Y2k thread readers: you're potentially costing us money.
In your zeal to keep the thread singing your song, you've stifled a
resourceful, prescient voice. Don't ask me to give you a break.
You've hit me where it really hurts -- in the wallet. |
