Robert, I truly appreciate your input on this thread. I certainly have learned a great deal about this stock from you. However, I feel your continued attack on those discussing the "rumor" is unwarranted. After someone inquired as to why the stock was moving up, I merely mentioned that I heard that there was a rumor of a buyout going around. I did not start this rumor, nor was my mention of it an attempt to consume so much discourse on this thread. (IMO, by repeatedly flaming everyone who mentions the rumor, you encourage the continued discussion of it.) Further, I certainly never asserted that the rumor was true as you suggest: The fella backed away from his assertions. Out of respect for you and following your request, I merely agreed to avoid further discussion of rumors.
Further, I note that many on this thread venture into discussions of what might be considered a rumor (depending of course on the definition). For instance, you state "Institutions ARE moving into the stock. " I assume you mean that institutional buying caused the 65+% rise in the price of the stock this week. As you posed to Labrador, "How do you know this?" Is this a fact, rumor, speculation or inside information? IMO, a fine line separates rumor and speculation.
Anyway, I would appreciate it if you give the criticism of those (including Labrador, Kent Rattey, Eric Zeigler and others) mentioning a rumor a rest. If you don't want to discuss it, then don't.
Please don't take offense to my comments. Again, I truly appreciate your taking the time to share your understanding and knowledge of VARL. |
