John, Slider may not have a very big effect on the regulars of this particular thread, but what you refuse to realize is that the number of lurkers, visitors to this thread is huge, enormous and that what is said on this board has effects on stocks via this "outsiders" -- this is a well known fact. A lot of people are captivated by Slider's style. Call them idiots, lemmings, sheep, "baaaaas" - whatever -- there are many of them. They follow him. But, I repeat, between news announcements, emotions rules, and this is where Slider is very strong. FGI, because of this overtaxing quiet period, all the uncertainty, is especially susceptible, and where people hear such rubbish - and great many people hear it - that he "KNOWS" because he "SMELLS" all this, that an imminent disaster is at hand, that FGI is doomed to collapse to no support, that buying HLX is "running to slaughter", etc. people step aside of this stock. You don't know that this is the very typical tactics of the Internet stock manipulators? That it became a virtual epidemic? You never heard about the numerous lawsuits against these manipulators? I did. I have some special involvement in this area, and I may tell you that Slider's hype is the most deadliest, because he appears to be totally impartial. While he is not, while he is pursuing unscrupulously his own agenda. Have you read the post # 51356?

Also, do not forget that Yahoo FGI thread has an enormous amount of visitors too. Perhaps, even more than this thread. And that is where actually main Slider's anti-FGI hype was.
