Hello Tom...and all...

I just made a whole pile of money in a stock called RRRR...over $82,000. And I only bring this up because it is a good lesson on Internet message boards. I bought RRRR when it was at $5.00 a share last year. It was a heat and air conditioning company that morphed into an Internet Incubator company. And when it hit $20...the world and all its naysayers descended on the RRRR message board. It got quite ugly with the LONGS having to defend themselves against the smarter people who knew better. The longs were stupid because we dared compare our stock to CMGI...the $250/sh Internet Incubator company. The longs then watched the stock dip down from 20 to 7 very quickly and languish there through the summer. Of course the naysayers "told us so" over and over...and with any news and future projections by the company we were quickly told what fools we were. Now here it is 6 months later and RRRR has reached an all time high of $68 per share.
But through those lean times, many people became scared of holding their shares and sold.

I wonder how often the above scenario is played out again and again because someone else feels right in thinking out loud and interjecting their thoughts, opinions and SUPPOSITIONS when they really have no more information than anyone else. So far...supposition has shown to be inconclusive or downright wrong. And ultimately, these righteous indignations have turned out to be the true culprit resulting in a disservice to tentative shareholders than any contrived and imagined deception by the company.

Is there anyone out there who sold for a loss? How many out there feel good about selling at .50 cents? How many people are out there feeling good at selling for .18 cents on Dec. 6 because they were scared out of holding???

How about the kind old gentlemen who sold only a few weeks ago. Wonder if there was some moment in time where he read a message on this board that by all appearances seemed rather savvy on its flimsy surface. But when you really delve deep into the message it is a lot of window dressing and SPECULATION and not much more.

I believe in a balanced scale of news...but I want real, solid, concrete, verifiable news. Not hyperbole mixed with a generic detective scenario that could be repeated for any stock on the Nasdaq or Bulletin Board.
Been there...done that....
