Pierre, I wasn’t asking "who" you were. I was interested in where you were coming from; that is, what professional/personal/financial connections you have that would make the intensity of your focus on PRST less opaque to readers of this thread. You said "Yes I do own a few puts, but who wouldn’t after the amount of time I put into this project." This implied to me, maybe wrongly, that the "few puts" you bought were an afterthought to the "project" you refer to. You mention also your 20 years of background in "the investment and corporate banking fields." This suggested to me that you are, perhaps, still engaged with the investment field in a way that might explain more fully than those few puts the emotive content of your commentary. Your affect is consistent with an interest in the matter that you have not disclosed, and which, although it is not important, piqued my curiosity. You have no obligation to disclose it, either. Full disclosure of vested interest is not a requirement here. My full disclosure: I’m long 3300 shares of PRST, acps 31 5/8.
You AGAIN can’t resist marshalling as apparent evidence of the company’s poor earnings prospects the misspellings in its 10K’s of the Crosfield Division and the Howson Division of DuPont. Maybe that’s one you should let go of. Your familiarity with the spelling of those names, and the importance you place on it, is further suggestive of undisclosed connections, and you are not anxious, for some reason, to call attention to this possibility.
Pierre, there is nothing wrong with having a vested interest. In any case, doesn’t disclosure add to one’s credibility, rather than detracting from it? Especially when you’re disclosing involuntarily anyway.
I’ll bet you’ve never gotten a 10K that didn’t contain an error or two in spelling or grammar. I’m sure I haven’t. It’s not one of the factors I consider when investing, and it’s not one you consider either.
P.S. I really am Jason A. Rush’s mother. |
