To: westpacific who wrote (96480) From: Jim B Thursday, Apr 13, 2000 7:25 PM ET Reply # of 96489 not defending entirely what you're saying.. but folks on this thread and everywhere else do it all the time... very few tout a stock they dont own.. and even fewer dont sell if the stock happens to spike upwards to their targets.. I'll go even further to suggest that if SEC regulated and licensed brokers can do it... and fund managers can do it.. then why penalize the little guy who buys a stock.. then tells others he likes it.. and should the stock rise.. he says, "wow.. the stock moved to my target already... i was gonna hold it.. but can't pass this up.. I'm selling".. we know how these daytrade things work... if we dont sell into the spike.. we'll all be left holding the bag.. like I was today when SINA spiked.. I bought at the high and sold at the low.. do I blame Mogul since it was one of his posts I read that excited me into buying SINA?? nope.. i did it.. my loss.. my lesson learned. I also didn't have to sell.. i could have gone long.. anyway.. I just hate to see the SEC cramp down hard on us little pocket folks when they let the licensed brokerages/funds get away with anything and everything; these threads are not supposed to be scrutinized the same way one would with an official analyst's report or prospectus.. heck, if some licensed idiot can put a $1000 target on a $100 stock and that NOT be considered hype to try and inflate the price... then they shouldnt be trying to micromanage our freedom of speech be it here or emails or anywhere... tell me TJ was knowingly spreading lies about companies and accepting compensation for publicity.. then that's another story (yes, I realize he's accused of just that..but my point is addressed in the preceeding statements).. anwyay, love to hear what CNBC reported on TJ today.. thanks all for letting me vent some concerns as I watch the govt take more and more of my freedom away from me while claiming it all in the interested of the "innocent". Well, the govt is also trying to tell me that for the "good of all".. no one should own a gun .. that way no one can shoot each other... and that way no one can protect themselves should the bad guys get the guns that the good guys aren't allowed to have.. hmmmmmmm stocks to guns... how'd I get there?? dunno.. bye for now jim
