Michail- just for the record, im no guru.. in fact, im one of the best moochers on s/i and in fact I bookmarked your thread because I like alot of the calls/opinions you have brought to the table.. THat said, I just wanted to one last time be a thorn in your side and point something out for future reference..

A few days ago, you responded rather negatively to a 'long' call that was made on another thread, the stock being HPOW.. I was a bit taken back by the post, and noticed you called a long on an all time favorite POS of mine called RRRR.. I kept it professional, but my post was questioning your call and you felt I wasnt worth the time responding to so you simply supplied a link to a post saying that you were going long RRRR..

I have no beef with you.. In fact, I hope that when you open your private site that you continue to post here as s/i has become a bit of a ghost town as of late.. But always remember that you need to keep your ego in check. I brushed it off, and decided not to get into a debate about RRRR, but looking back I feel I did a HUGE disservice to people by walking away. My problem was I have alot of friends on s/i who would have frowned on me attacking your long call, and so I decided to just let it go.. Big mistake and I feel partly responsible for not pushing the issue..

again- im no guru.. I have taken lump after lump year after year and have finally started making things work just over the last few... that said, I just want you to take a second to look back at this call and realize that alot of us, both professional and amateur have alot to offer.. Dont ever get to the point where your agenda thrives at the expense of others.. and especially dont let it get to the point where you shut out others opinions and cheat people out of an open discussion.

I wish you the best of luck, and hope alot of people make the move to your private site.. but at the same time you should keep in mind that people like me are watching, and sitting back with a calculator looking at your totals.. and questioning your calls.. because I have seen too many people burnt by folks with an agenda.. and Ill be the first to have the balls to come out and say that the SEC does little if anything to protect the individual investors..Understaffed, over worked.. a total joke.. and that leaves people wide open for wide spread abuse.. We take it from the folks on CNBC each day, but we shouldnt have to take it from people in our little communities.

Sorry if I offended anyone by this post.. This is not a self serving post, so take it for what its worth.. Im concerned.. thats all..
