I'm breaking my own rule about conversing with a poster who has demonstrated a lack of respect to some on this board, but what the hell, I'll make one last comment...
So what you're saying is, since I made a (wrong) decision to trust ABTX management and they subsequently put their foot in it, what I say is unreliable? Sorry, but the relative "correctness" of anyone's position in a stock has something to do with research and something to do with luck. The best stock pickers and analysts sometimes get blindsided by inept management. Being wrong (for now) about a particular stock doesn't automatically assign me an agenda or make what I say more or less important, nor should anyone put any less or more credence in my posts, which, in the end, are more for me than anyone else anyway. Likewise, your being right about ABTX up to this point doesn't make you the sage of seeds for all time.
I have no gripe with your decision to short this stock or to go on and on about why. For all I know, you've got inside information. Hell, you've been dead on up to this point. My only complaint, and I realize my saying this will have no effect on your behavior but I'm compelled to say it anyway, is the unbridled glee you take when others get it wrong and lose money. If you truly think it's hilarious that I've lost money (that is, so far, and only on paper since I haven't sold) and you're sitting at your little computer rubbing your hands and chuckling at my temporary misfortune, then you need some analysis, and I don't mean stock analysis.
Drakes, if you'll stick to stating your opinions on the stock and attempt to back them up with some facts, I'll welcome your short-skewed comments as they provide a good balance to my long-term optimism. You might even change my mind if you blind me with facts. But make it personal, or effectively stick out your tongue and "nyah, nyah" me and you've lost my respect.
