Hi Sergio,
I am going back over my daily logs to see if I can put together some semblance of what ALLN has done since March 6th. I don't know if I can pass along anything definitive, as even with the buys and sells that I can attribute to them with some degree of confidence, it is impossible to know if other MMs are acting on their behalf as well. So I'll let you all know what I come up with.
Hey, and what are you doing emailin' Ron? I thought we were concerned with the "off-SI" trend of the thread!! <g>
I agree that to some extent that the participants of this thread can affect the stock movement. I really don't think the morale or sentiment of the GRNO believers is the force behind it though. Like I have stated in previous posts, the faithful long termers are in and the stock is sort of in a holding pattern. New buyers of the institutional variety, who have specific criteria to follow, will take GRNO higher as the business plan comes to fruition. There are a whole bunch of interested folks out there that are who are restrained from buying for one reason or another (BB vs. small cap listing, market cap, etc).
Careful not to assume that those who have not made a public declaration of buying more shares actually haven't. As you know, hell, anyone can say anything in that regard, buying or selling. I don't put too much credence on people's declarations to that end.
I was looking back at your post 4214 and wanted to address a couple of the concerns you mentioned....
"I am concerned because:
1. the grno groupies have not risen to the occassion. No rally cry."
Simple in my estimation. The fear of the H word. No matter how heartfelt and accurate the information is one is relaying (read: Ron and anyone else who has travelled to SC or spoken at length with the principals of GRNO), some know-nothing, lazy-ass, agenda-laden nobody is going to come along and label them with the H word. In Ron's case I think he feels he has nurtured the "baby" and is stepping aside a little to watch it crawl, walk, and run.
"3. There is an uprising in the previously cohesive GRNO group."
The bearers of fact are all still here. I define an uprising as a movement that has some popular support. Rumor mongering and baseless accusations by a few malcontents does not fall under that definition.
That is my take on those two concerns. Next.
"I previously asked if anyone has cancelled plans to visit GRNO next month. I have received some responses. Anyone else?"
Sergio, I don't recall you asking that but my first thought would be, why do you ask? Second thought, how many is some and how 'bout some details? How do you want the responses, via email? tisk tisk!! <g>
Am I going to Charleston??? My only obstacle is resolving a teeny-weenie conflict with my lovely wife's birthday! Still looking for the right angle to pursue, but in the end I will place the good of the marriage before the good of my investment! Heck, I may even go down and hang with Okee-boy next week and say hi to the guys!
I thoroughly enjoy the free exchange of fact and opinion but lose my tolerance for some of the tactics I see out here at times. Specifically, DIVER comes to mind and if anyone out there cares to look back at my responses to him, what you will see is fact versus fiction. Not once has he responded to my explanations that addressed his "concerns" and based on my knowledge of human nature, I didn't really expect any. Case closed.
Sergio, I originally suspected you of carrying on similar tactics when you came onto this thread with your perception that ALLN was jumping in to "sell his shares" and knock the price down. I had watched them from the day they appeared and observed their actions daily. Once you and me exchanged factual information, we both understood more clearly the basis of our opinions. That is the way free and factual flow of information should work. Here! Here!
Enough for tonight, oh rambling one.
Night all,
