Ernie -- An abridged history of the DCI thread. From the first day I posted, only positive posts were allowed, unless the poster was willing to face derision. The most outrageously flamboyant forecasts/projections were encouraged & then even increased by other over exited posters. Ludicrous predictions prevailed. Any "temporary" price problems prior to the SEC suspension were blamed on insidious factors (i.e. Canadian shorters). This resulted in the true "leading of the lambs to slaughter" - the cert call. I'm positive the SEC didn't look kindly on a CEO who gave his blessing to such an event, even to the extent that his own participation was posted. Meanwhile, any dissenting posts continued to bring derision and attacks on the poster. Somewhere in here, KKM enters the scene as an unwitting mouthpiece for the inept mgt, relaying their impossibly optimistic projections. Then, the suspension hits & the positive group STILL believes it is a temporary "pooling" issue & no one has the "right" to question mgt. Yes, we were "picked on" again by an insidious outsider, the SEC. Time passes, the dust clears, the latest quarterly filing comes out & it is clear why the big name accountants quit. Income is meager, the IXC master contract is written off (as I posted it should be many weeks ago), losses mount, & it is clear we have a shell left. Anyone who didn't seize the final opportunity to sell @ around a buck has only themselves to blame. Besides "imbecile Ernie", there is a poster here who went through the same torture with CCEE - he was darn near the last to realize he'd been had & defended the company well after it made no sense to do so. Now there are maybe a dozen hardcore posters left who still bristle at any post not to their liking. An extremely sad state of affairs by the biggest losers in this sordid tale. I still own 100 shares & intend to post whenever I like whether the remaining "investors" like it or not. Just think, if it goes to $100/share, like the type of projection so welcomed & supported on this board in the past - my meager holding will be worth $10K.......................V
P.S. __ Maybe the biggest clue to the unraveling was when so many posts occurred reminding everyone that the Murphy family had the most to lose in the matter. I'll always remember that kind of statement as a immediate red flag. |
