No Mikey...Dwayne?...cannot be.
I have had every thought imaginable about those posting on this thread. But that idea has thrown me. I find Andrew to have an awareness of the consequences of his actions that you would never expect from the other.
It is quite unfortunate , as Ricki Vernon has pointed out on this particular stock, that it goes down when things seem positive, or up when things seem negative. Kind of leaves me in a continuous state of wonder...that some other agenda is being carried out, aside of an expected promotion one would find for value having been created, found gold for example.
A promotion is expected for increased value, hiding a promotion sounds off alarms.
Are friends really enemies or are enemies really friends is probably the first question asked when the confusion strikes.
Just a good solid up front promotion, get the word out, let people decide on their own, no swaying required, do you like it yes or no.
I believe you have the same sentiment.
IR should have your posts as a training manual.
Still a Swannyite?
That 12 Sept 1996 AGM meeting left me with the feeling that I was the smartest person in the world to get back into BSW. Initially I bought in January 1996 for the longer term. (I had been in and out in '94 and '95, but then I was playing the volume game on stocks below 30 cents). I believed BSW was on to something. By April after many false starts the stock took off and I sold quick, not being used to making that much money, but as it turns out I sold far too soon.
Seeing the meeting run very crisply, very openly, humour was very evident, I knew this stock was going somewhere. I was prepared to exit quick and sell having been a little leery of what I had been reading on this thread, having lurked for a few weeks before I registered to post.
But that meeting totally re-inforced my belief that the goods were still to come. I had bought in again in August, had recently quit my job to trade full-time. (Oh yes, I was a cocky one). I was extremely impressed with Arthur's handling of the meeting, the way he was up front in handling questions. Technical questions about the property were brought up and I was really touched by Mr. Giglio who made a valiant attempt to answer these questions, even though his English is limited and required some translational help. He went out of his way to ensure questions were answered to satisfaction. He cared!
After the AGM I told everyone and their mother to jump in...never mind why...just do it...TRUST ME.
By this time I had been working on a computer program that would track activity in the market using the premise that the market would follow Newtons laws of motion, that change occurs with forces, whether via broadcasted news or insider-only news, this news would act as a force, with a momentum resulting. Momentum would reduce with no news, by a co-efficent of drag which could be deduced through trial and error. Unaccountable changes of momentum would thus tell you that a force has acted on the system and which way it was going. (Now I gave away my secret of anticipating news releases and run-ups.)
To bring my little tale to an end I was finding hidden forces downward but Rah! Rah! Rah! on the thread. The program was far from complete but I had to decide, trust my graphs or the rah-rah. The graphs say this stock is going to head south (in late Sept) but rah-rah-rah!!!
Needless to say I sold...TRUST ME.. I had said....some may recall my fury unleashed on the thread.(still apologizing for the lack of manners)
But I did come back in again- then out again- the computer results are only so good- some interpretation still necessary.
Then the credit crisis- and the triple whammy of unexpected bills- then back to work- the two jobs to get things under control- and now what to do with what I have earned?
I did trade other stocks as well between my bouts with BSW. Some with success though, the pleasure?..the dream?...was missing.
Something about this stock....management? Brazil? Something?
I have read just about every thread over the last couple of weeks, some look likely to do well. But this bloody dream keeps surfacing.... especially when a patiently-eloquent-dreamwellian-bastards thoughts turn to prose.
With my highest respect to you Mikey,
Keith
